Agency (FEMA) will be testing its nationwide Wireless Emergency Alert

*Tips for Reducing Sitting Time*
Like many people, you may have a fairly sedentary job sitting behind a desk
and staring a computer screen most of the time, or you may just sit a lot
at home! Because sitting requires less energy than standing or moving,
sitting for long periods of time can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes,
obesity, high cholesterol levels and back pain. Try these tips for being
more active at work or home:
· Set a timer/reminder every 30 minutes to take a break from sitting
· Stand or pace as you talk on the phone
· Take the stairs if possible
· At your office, take a short walk after you eat lunch and try not
to eat at your desk too often
· Park far away from your office or from the store and walk
· Stand and stretch when sitting for long periods at your computer
· Schedule walking meetings with colleagues instead of the
traditional conference table meeting
· Get up to refill your water bottle every hour
· Try to stand for a minimum of two hours per day and four hours for
optimal health
