  1. I thought this article was really interesting. I have always thought and been told that exercising can help you live longer yet this article says that there is little to no correlation between the two. It talks about how standing, not necessarily moving, but just standing can have a positive effect on the length of your life. I think if sitting all day isn’t good for your health, then schools should change the way the students spend their days. School is 7 hours long and the majority of that time is spent in a chair. Maybe there should be an option to allow students to stand for some of the class.
