Sit Down or Stand Up?

To some extent, yes. Katzmarzyk?s paper builds on a growing body of evidence that a sedentary job visits a host of perils upon the body. One notable effect is a decrease in the production and circulation of lipoprotein lipase, a molecule that helps determine how fats are processed. Active muscle tissues are partly responsible for producing lipoprotein lipase as well as for the general burning of calories; a variety of muscle groups that are engaged when you?re standing become inactive once you sit down. Office workers can partly counteract this effect by standing up and moving around every 20 minutes or so, a practice that can help maintain a higher metabolism and regular production of lipoprotein lipase. Compartmentalizing exercise into a single period of the day is not enough to combat a lull during the rest of the day, though doctors note that both regular exercise and the occasional walk to the water cooler are necessary.
