As a designer I strive to create out-of-the-box designs, push the envelope, and welcome new challenges with enthusiasm. This blog is about my journey as a freelance designer. Different things I have learned along with templates I have created and offer to you free of charge are included in this blog.

A recent medical journal study showed that people who sit for most of their day are 54% more likely to die of a heart attack. Majority of designers sit at our computer working on average eight hours a day. Sitting down for eight plus hours is worse for you than you probably ever thought of before. Exercise is very good for you, we should all know that and studies have proven this to be true. This is why I decided to write about how important it is to remember to take breaks while at work, in the office, and even at home.

Here are some "fun" facts that have been proven from sitting down for long periods of time


-A 2010 editorial in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that those who sit for prolonged periods have a higher risk of disease than those who move a muscle every now and then in a non-exercise manner, such as walking up the stairs to grab a cup of coffee.

-Researchers at the American Cancer Society found that even if you exercise nearly every day, those health benefits can be undone if you spend the rest of your time on your keister. (More at TIME.com: Is Running Barefoot Better for You?)

-Scientists at the University of Missouri have found that the act of sitting seems to shut off the circulation of a fat-absorbing enzyme called lipase.

-A study published by the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that sitting for long stretches, more than six hours a day, can make someone at least 18% more likely to die from diabetes, heart disease and obesity than those sitting less than three hours a day.

-Scientists at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana analyzed the lifestyles of more than 17,000 men and women over about 13 years, and found that people who sit for most of the day are 54% more likely to die of heart attacks.


Your health is greatly affected in general from not stretching and sitting down for multiple hours at a time. Below I have listed the common health problems graphic/web designers and developers have.
