Do this 2-minute exercise every 58 minutes in the office, and it will reduce the risk of heart attack and cardiac arrest.

Heart disease has become the leading cause of death worldwide today, and the biggest reason for this is prolonged sitting, when we remain seated for long periods of time without movement.

 

In today's lifestyle, most people work in offices or corporate jobs. As a result, we spend most of the day sitting in our chairs. Sometimes, people work for 8 to 10 hours continuously. This not only reduces our physical activity but also increases health problems like heart and blood circulation.

Heart disease has become the leading cause of death worldwide, and the biggest reason for this is prolonged sitting. When we sit for long periods of time without movement, our heart and cardiovascular system are negatively affected. People with this condition are at a much higher risk of heart attack and cardiac arrest than the general population. 

Do this 2-minute task every 58 minutes in the office.

If you do just two minutes of light exercise every hour, it can be very beneficial for your heart. This rule is especially applicable for those who work desk jobs or sit for long periods of time. In such a case, work for 58 minutes and then do two minutes of light exercise. This way, you can activate your body approximately eight times in an eight-hour workday. This improves blood flow, prevents muscle congestion, and keeps your heart healthy.
