Good sitting vs bad sitting: What's the difference and how it impacts brain health
India TodayHow you spend your downtime could have a significant impact on your brain health, according to a new study by researchers at the University of South Australia. Good Sitting vs. Bad Sitting Activities like reading, listening to music, crafting, praying, or chatting with friends were found to boost memory and cognitive function. "Even five-minute swaps, like replacing TV time with a quick puzzle, reading, or a phone call with a friend, can support better brain health,," said Dr Mellow. "And, while the 'move more, sit less' message certainly holds true for cardiometabolic and brain health, our research shows that a more nuanced approach is needed when it comes to thinking about the link between sedentary behaviours and cognitive function," added Dr Mellow. Social and mentally stimulating sitting activities offer cognitive benefits, while passive screen time increases risks to long-term brain health.
