Bob Marley - Get up, stand up 1980 Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight! Preacher man, don't tell me, Heaven is under the earth.

A new study has added to the growing evidence that prolonged periods sitting does horrible things to our health (early death, increased morbidity/disease).

But there was an empowering finding as well...

Standing and getting some movement every 30 minutes lessens the deleterious effects of prolonged sitting

So do like Bob Marley and Get Up, Stand Up more often!

I first heard about this study in the NYTimes Article by Gretchen Reynolds
