Sitting too much, you risk dying early even if you do regular exercises.

If you sit for six hours a day or more, your risk of dying early jumps 19 percent, compared with people who sit fewer than three hours, an American Cancer Society study suggests

And, the study authors added, sitting may kill you in 14 ways, including: cancer; heart disease; stroke ; diabetes; kidney disease ; suicide; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); lung disease ; liver disease; peptic ulcer and other digestive disease; Parkinson's disease ; Alzheimer's disease; nervous disorders; and musculoskeletal disorders.

For the study, Patel's team collected data on nearly 128,000 men and women who were part of an American Cancer Society prevention study. At the start of the study, all were free of major chronic diseases. During 21 years of follow-up, nearly 49,000 people died.
