Have a desk job?  Every hour we spend sitting increases the likelihood of metabolic syndrome, including hypertension, high cholesterol, and abdominal obesity, reports the British Journal of Sports Medicine.  

 

Sitting for hours appears to alter enzymes in the blood that metabolize fat. So hop up, hit the water cooler once an hour, walk or bike to work, take the stairs, stand at your desk, or go retro and bypass email to deliver messages in person.
