It’s likely you have many clients who work sedentary jobs. Encourage them to simply move as much possible because, according to research,
people who sit for many hours, regardless of whether or not they exercise regularly, are at increased risk of higher liver-fat levels, a leading contributor to type 2 diabetes.
Researchers from England examined whether lower levels of daily physical activity and more sedentary time led to a greater likelihood of metabolic syndrome in young, physically active adults of similar body mass index. Data analysis showed that each additional hour of sedentary time was associated with a 1.15% increase in liver fat, independent of other levels of physical activity and of gender. Study authors recommend finding more strategies to reduce sedentary behavior, in addition to encouraging physical activity.
