## Resource

New research from the University of Glasgow reveals that sitting for more than 30 minutes straight boosts cancer death risk—and every extra hour of inactivity adds another 10%. But the good news? You can slash that risk by over 20% just by swapping some sitting time for movement. Even light activity like walking or housework helps: 30 minutes of moderate activity cuts cancer death risk by 8%, while five minutes of vigorous exercise slashes it by 22%. The study tracked 91,000 UK adults over 12 years using wearables, proving that breaking up long sitting sessions—even with small movements—is key to long-term health.
