Sitting is Deleterious to Your Health And Life

I am both lazy and fat, always have been and maybe always will be.

Awake 16 hours daily, I sit on my can at the computer, watching

tv, reading, and playing video games. Some of the time I am at

conferences and company meetings - and telephoning, sitting on

my well-padded fundament.

The thought of exercising is an anathema to my 3 pound coconut, and

I have lie down to recover after mental images of gym and equipment.

Who Says Sitting is Dangerous

Professor Marc Hamilton, Biomedical sciences, University of Missouri-Columbia

and his team did the research published 11.20.07 by Diabetes journal. This information will be presented at the Second International Congress on Physical

Activity And Public Health, in Amsterdam. Hamilton will read it standing up.

1. Sitting all working-day affects our immune system and is disease causing.

2. Sitting reduces fat and cholesterol metabolism and produces more of both.

3. Standing and strolling around our desk and office awakens our enzymes

activating good metabolism.

4. Blood vessels to our leg muscles are shut-down after sitting a couple of hours.

5. Standing instead of walking and strolling instead of sitting burn twice the

number of calories as sitting on our can.

6. Only 28% of Americans get the minimum amount of daily exercise, thus

making obesity standard for up to 68% of us.

7. We know sun-bathing for more than an hour is dangerous and can cause the big C; you are aware smoking is playing with fate. Now you know sitting more than one-hour (without standing for the next 10 minutes) can be life-threatening.

Coda: Do not spend more time at the gym exercising - you won't do it anyway.

We are talking about a lifestyle change while in your place of employment.

Lawyers and accountants are chair-sitters at the office, and couch potatoes

at home. How about you and me? Our goal is to improve the quality of we already

do - working at an office in the 21st century.

Did you know that Benny Franklin and Tommy Jefferson worked all day from

their (vertical) Stand-Up desk? I checked and Ben lived to about 92 and Tom 81, both with all their marbles. Get a vertical desk and you'll cut sitting 65%. Now remember, the muscles holding up a 195 pound body burn twice the calories of the same sitting weight. Stand your way to weight loss.

Helping Your Kids Learn

After testing 35,000 kids - preschoolers living in the U.S. Canada and England,

Northwestern University researcher Greg Duncan, and published in the journal

Developmental Psychology, November 19, 2007, say - Early Academic Skills,

Not Behavior, are the best predictors of school success.

Coda: if your kid enters kindergarten knowing the alphabet and how to read

a sentence, together with some basic numbers skills, he/she is going to do very

well throughout their school career. Compared to the reading and numbers challenged, your students will be the stars in both school and their careers.

There is a second secret to school success, and it is not social and emotional behavior. Training your students to pay attention and focus on one thing

at a time and not be distracted, is vitally important.

Listen to This

"Children who are aggressive or disruptive in class and do not make friends easily, can still become scholars, if they enter kindergarten knowing their letters and numbers."

You have the ball, not the teachers or the school board, start training your kids

at age 4-5 before they start school. If you want to bring out the personal Einstein in

your kids as they mature, consider pre-school tutoring or do it yourself.

Drill-and-Kill

Sure, kindergarten should contain fun-and-games, but do not negate the power

of drill-and-kill to stimulate the brain for learning principles and skills early.

Reading and Numbers readiness starting at ages 4 and 5 produce measurable

learning affects at 7 to 14.

Advanced Classes

If you want to produce a citizenry of clowns, segregate non-learners together.

Sure, the Supreme Court says there are no segregated schools any more.

You and I know that in immigrant neighborhoods, and schools where 85% of the

of the students are from economically-deprived families - poor, black kids,

they score up to 3 grades behind the majority population of whites.

Principle: underachievers who are grouped together lead to the lowest common

denominator - more underachievers.

Endwords:

Schools must not create segregated classes because we are all copycats. If everyone

around us is a non-achiever and not literate - regardless of the reasons - that is

the standard we will aspire to.

What is the reverse principle? Put ordinary, standard,

and average kids in a class where the majority are passionate learners (good readers) engaged with kids who find the rhythm in numbers), the minority kids step up to the plate and improve.

That sounds easy; how come it doesn't happen? Not In My Neighborhood rules.

If there ever was reasoning requiring nothing but common sense, desegregating classes (yes, in 2007) is it. The truth is it is not happening.

Finally, may we suggest you check out teaching your kids, (maybe yourself) -

to 3x your learning speed and 2x your long-term memory. We live in the Knowledge

Economy and being a skilled learner is mandatory. It is a Learn or Burn society.

Wait. Would you be interested in living up to nine years longer and not

get Alzheimers? The scientific answer is learning skills. Ask us how.

See ya,
