Today it is common to have a job that involves sitting at a desk for eight hours each day. One of the major lessons that has come out of the research on sedentary behavior is that exer- cising before or after work (although beneficial in itself) does not undo the damage done by sitting all day. However, the research has also found that simply inter- rupting sitting time with stand- ing or walks may prevent the negative health effects of a sedentary job. A relatively short period of sitting-5 consecutive hours, less than an eight-hour work day-increased insulin resist- ance compared to five hours of sitting interrupted every 20 minutes with a two-minute walk. Participants consumed a 760-calorie meal at the start, completed one of five-hour pat- terns, and then the other pattern on the following day. The results showed a more than 20 percent decrease in plasma glu- cose and insulin levels on the day with walking interruptions. Another interesting study compared a single block of 30 minutes of walking to a total of 30 minutes of walking spread out over a day of sitting. In this 2013 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 70 healthy normal weight adults performed each of these three different patterns in random order: 9 hours con- tinuous sitting; uphill walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes, then 8.5 hours of continuous sitting; a 9-hour period of sitting, inter- rupted by 100 second walking breaks every 30 minutes (30 minutes total walking). The participants were given three meals each day through- out the experiment. Regular walking breaks reduced plasma glucose by 37 percent and plasma insulin by 18 percent. The most notable result from this study was that the regular walking breaks pro- duced greater reductions in plasma glucose and insulin than the 30 minute block of physical activity. Standing and sit-to-stand (height-adjustable) worksta- tions are being used as tools for reducing prolonged sitting time at work. When we are sitting our muscles are idle, but once we stand up, there is measurable electrical activity in the large muscles of our legs-we use these muscles when we are standing. Standing for at least a portion of the day increases total calorie expenditure. It is still advisable to take occasional walk breaks, even if you do work at a standing or sit-stand workstation. When we stand, we naturally shift weight Watch “In Search of the Lord’s Way” Sunday, 7:30 AM KMTR Channel 12 Then visit the Florence church of Christ 1833 Tamarack Florence, Oregon and experience the joy and simplicity of pre-denominational New Testament Worship.

Additional movement, even light move- ment, will increase metabolic activity, potentially enhancing the benefit. Standing while working- and alternating standing and sitting-have been found to reduce plasma glucose levels compared to sitting while working. For optimal health you not only have to get exercise, you also have to avoid prolonged, uninterrupted sitting time. If it is available at your work place, try standing for a signif- icant portion of the day with a sit-to-stand desk. If active workstations aren’t available, set timer to remind you to take 1-2 minute walk breaks every 30 minutes. Take phone calls standing up. Walk up and down the stairs a few times a day. Walk to a colleague's office instead of sending an email. In other words, take every opportunity throughout the day to stand up and move- remember, even light activity makes a big difference.

Soup’s On to discuss living in a diverse world On Monday, Dec. 21, at 6:30 p.m., everyone is invited to join a group of friends from diverse spiritual paths who enjoy discussing a variety of spiritual topics. This week, Soup’s On will discuss living in a beautiful, diverse world, and almost each day of the year is a sacred time for someone, somewhere. They will also share an inclu- sive religious calendar for nine major world religions: Baha’i, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism, Judaism, Islam, Paganism, Shinto and Sikhism. The evening will begin with bowls of African potato stew, warm home-made bread and vegetables followed by the evening’s topic until 8:30 p.m. The gathering will end with prayers for the requests left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse and those shared by the group. The Heintz home is at 875 Seventh St. For more informa- tion, call Suzanne Mann- Heintz at 541-590-0779. Churches to host ‘Blue Christmas’ service Monday New Life Lutheran and the Florence United Methodist Church are hosting a “Blue Christmas” worship service Monday, Dec. 21, at 2 p.m. This worship will be at New Life Lutheran, 21st and Spruce streets, and will be a service of remembrance, rest and reflec- tion. For many of us, Christmas is a bittersweet time of year. It is a time for remembering both persons and events that have been part of our lives in the past that are now changed or gone. It is a busy time that can feel overwhelming. Come for a special Advent service of quiet worship to take time for prayer, reflection, remembering and preparing for the coming of Christ. A time of fellowship and refreshments will follow the service. For more information, call Florence United Methodist at 541-997-6025 or New Life Lutheran at 541-997-8113.
