The study published in BMJ said that sitting for three hours per day or longer may reduce an individual's life expect calculated that limiting the time people spend sitting to 3 hours or fewer each day would increase the life expectancy of the population by two years. Cutting down TV watching to fewer than two hours each day would bump life expectancy up by another 1.4 years.
