The study was conducted by Emmanuel Stamatakis, researchers from University College London, UK. They conducted a research of over four,500 people over 35 years elderly and the results published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
According to research, spending over five hours per day in front of a computer can damage the heart and lead to death more quickly. The reason is the position of sitting, sitting back, which is a common position when people work with computers, playing games, or watching television.
These findings add the facts continues accumulated about the dangers of sitting for long. In fact, the current trend is increasingly people sitting at the computer while working at the office.
"People who spent over four consecutive hours per day in front of the computer has a 125 percent higher chance of death related to heart illness than those who only spend less than two hours in front of the screen," said Stamatakis, as quoted from Examiner, twenty April 2011.
Stamatakis said, from research, they also found that 48 percent of individuals who spent four hours at the computer in a row is also likely to experience more quick death due to other factors outside the heart.
Furthermore, those who spend over five hours in front of computer per day, have the risk of death faster significantly.
"People who exercise regularly in their spare time also have the chance to die more quickly," said Stamatakis. Do you agree? well it is getting me confuse ! because i regularly doing exercise in my spare time.
Historicallyin the past, it was estimated that those who spend much time in front of the computer, or also in front of the TV, is a lazy person to exercise and lead to the emergence of illness. However, the knowledge obtained, is not the case.
However, there is a solution for those who are forced to work at a computer all day. "You must get up every twenty minutes and walk away for a moment," said Stamatakis. "That would reduce these issues and may increase your chances of living longer," they said
Researchers think that the cause is sit long. The sitting position is known decrease 90 percent in the enzyme lipoprotein lipase and a healthy heart. Swelling and metabolic issues caused by the Inactivity in a long time even be a source of issues.
