Stand Up For Your Health -- Physiologists And Microbiologists Find Link Between Sitting And Poor Health:

"The existing data, by numerous studies, are starting to show that the rates of heart disease and diabetes and obesity are doubled or sometimes even tripled in people who sit a lot,' Dr. Hamilton explains. One reason, he says, is an enzyme called lipase. When it's on, fat is absorbed into the muscles, but when we sit down, lipase virtually shuts off.

'Instead, the fat will recirculate in the blood stream and go and be stored as body fat or it can clog arteries and cause diseases,' Dr. Hamilton says. And it's not a small amount of fat. Plasma samples were taken from the same person after eating the same meal. When they ate sitting down, the sample was cloudy, but when they ate while standing up, it was clear."

Wow. This is interesting. Can you imagine how wrong we might have been on so many things. For instance, and I have ZERO ZERO ZERO evidence of this, what if we could eat fats while standing without any problem, but the same fat taken while sitting is a problem. Time to throw away the chairs!
