Wonder how to escape from your boss' askance glances every time you reach out to your colleagues' desk or grab a drink from water cooler? An intriguing new research has found that taking short breaks from sitting at desk is healthy to your heart and waistline.
According to the study published in the Jan. 12 issue of the journal 'European Heart Journal,' taking regular breaks between work not only cuts the risk of heart diseases, but also helps in attaining a slimmer waist.
Even breaks, as short as a minute, like standing for phone calls, climbing stairs, or talking to other employees might play an important role in benefiting heart and metabolic health.
