Exercise is a guarantee of well-being and now scientists have come up with a simple exercise that can add years to your life. According to Mail Online, this exercise is to sit on one's feet. "When we sit in a chair or any other position, the muscles in our legs and hips are switched off, but if we sit on our feet, those muscles continue to work," said David Recklin, a professor at the University of Southern California.
"We came to this conclusion from research on the Hedza, a Tanzanian tribe," said Professor David. They also sit like us for 8-9 hours a day but they mostly sit on their feet instead of sitting comfortably. That is why they are less likely to have other types of diabetes, blood and heart disease than us. This is because when the muscles work even while sitting on our feet, our body fat melts. As a result, we are protected from many diseases, including obesity. This is an exercise that can add many years to our lives as sitting on our feet has been found to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke many times over in the Hedza tribe.
