The reason why you should follow the Apple Watch's "Stand time!"Learn the reason that too much sitting shortens to life with Professor Waseda's book

"Stand" reminder used in many smart watches, including Apple Watch.

If you do not move at a desk for a certain period of time, it is a notification that will tell you by displaying or vibrating, "Stand time! Let's get up and move for about a minute."

Many people ignore them when they are concentrated in work.

However, studies have also revealed that sitting for a long time in everyday life has a variety of negative effects on health.

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce the health risks that will bring you too much, referring to the book "Sitting too much" (Koichiro Oka/Daishukan Bookstore).

The author is a researcher in the health risk of sitting behavior

Koichiro Oka, the author of "Sitting too much" shortens its life, is a professor at Waseda University Sports Science Affairs Academy.

He has studied under Neville Owen, a global authority of sitting behavior research, and has been conducting joint research on over -sitting health risks and countermeasures.

In order to examine the health risks of sitting behavior for Japanese people, Waseda's Health Study for Waseda University graduates has also been launched.The contents introduced on the Amazon page of the book are as follows.

Sitting too much increases the risk of death, deprives the work, and increases fatigue!

Then, while reading the book, I will introduce the parts that have left the impression in a bulleted list.

Just reading the part written below will come to think, "Let's stand up often during work today ...!"

● It takes about 7 hours for Japanese adults to sit a day. Compared to adult data in 20 countries, the number is the longest ● According to research mainly by the University of Sydney in Australia, the longer the sitting time, the higher the total mortality rate (the mortality rate caused by all causes).

Modern people who have more time to sit.Smart watch is perfect for that measure

In the book, there was also a description that modern people have more time to sit at home due to changes in lifestyle.

In a few decades ago, I needed to stand up and move to the TV to change the TV channel.

In addition, the washing machine was two -layered, and it was necessary to operate again only for dehydration, but now fully automatic with a dryer has become widespread.The time to get up for washing is decreasing.And in the past, there was no fan remote control, and there was no robot vacuum cleaner like Rumba.

Now, most home appliances can be operated by the remote control.

In addition, the spread of smartphones, high performance and multifunctional, have also changed in recent years.While watching TV has decreased, the situation that "can do most of the smartphone" has surely increased the time of sitting on a chair at home or at the office.

In recent years, "Smart Speakers", which can operate a wide range of operations only by voice, such as Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple HomePod, have gradually spread.It is predicted that walking in the home will be less.

Smart watch is useful in such a situation.

The author, Mr. Oka, was actually a loyal user of Apple Watch, and mentioned in the book about the usefulness of the reminder, which is up to standing up.

Before "Let's exercise!"

What was interesting in the book was that before I was conscious of "let's exercise", it was important to be conscious of "Let's not sit too much in everyday life".This is the point.

Exercise is important in terms of preventing illness, but it can be expected to have a sufficient effect just to stop sitting too much, stand and walk frequently.

And standing and walking is "low -strength physical activity".If you want to try sports, but you can't get started easily, you can start by increasing the standing time.For more details of the book, read the book and check it!
