standing up increases your life expectancy ?

Or should I say, sitting down decreases it. Just got round to reading this. What are they going to come out with next, apart from eating a large amount of choc helps you to keep slim ?

My dad worked until the day he died aged 59. He had a manual job and hardly ever sat down when he was at home.

I stand on my shifts for 7-8 hrs, at least 4 days a week, zumba 3-4 times a week plus cycling to and fro and walking. I hardly ever sit down, except when on here to relax a bit. Im now 60, how is my life going to pan out I now wonder. Who sits down for 11 hours or more ( as asked in this article )
Ive also stopped eating chocolate. No wonder Im not losing weight :>)

I know a few elderly people who sit down all day then turn tv on and sit down all night!
I'm going to get off my fat @rse now and do some housework!!
