Sitting at Your Desk Could Be Deadly.

A new study of 62 individuals with DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) revealed that 34% of them were office workers who spent long periods of time sitting at their desks.

DVT is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein — most commonly in the legs. The clots can break free and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, heart or brain and cause breathing problems, chest pain, or even death from a stroke or heart attack.
