  2. Heart Diseases : Stretched sitting causes the health risk with poor blood flow. Lack of movement, leads to slow heart rate and blood transmission.  Improper blood circulation means less blood supply to the heart and thus, less blood flow to the rest of the body. Low heart rate means that the heart is not pumping accurately, which is goes on for a long time, leads to weak heart and at last heart stroke. Heart attack is one of the major health risk of sitting, and also the major reason for rising humanity rate among IT employees.
