A UK study suggests spending hours a day just sitting down might lead to higher risk of depression. So, get up for few minutes to stretch your legs! Researchers carried out a survey to see adolescents who spend large portions of the day, approximately 8 hours, sitting have a greater risk of catching depression by the time they are adults. More research is required to for long-term effects of our sedentary lifestyles.
