Yes Sitting Too Long Can Kill You Summary

Susan Scutti in the article, “Yes, Sitting Too Long Can Kill You, Even If You Exercise”, asserts that sitting is a cause of early death. Scutti supports her assertions by demonstrating different examples on how sitting is awful for your health.The authors purpose is to inform and educate in order to save some lives from early death. The author writes in a formal tone for the people who are interested in their health. My initial reaction to the text would be that Susan Scutti is a very dramatic writer. It seemed rushed and not thought out. Scutti did not seem to put any research into it or give medical reasons why sitting is so bad for you. I do understand and am interested in this topic. I feel as though we need to spend less time
on our butts and more time on our feet getting natural exercise. I believe that our bodies weren't meant to stay sitting or standing for longer periods of time but to keep moving and doing things in cycles.
