Sitting for Hours Can Undo Exercise Benefits by Stopping Anti-Inflammatory Signals

What was said

"If you then sit then for 8 or 10 hours watching daytime television or you're at work and you're at your desk, you can undo a lot of that because the muscle will then not produce that dampening cytokine for that long period of time."

Lord warned that prolonged sedentary time after exercise negates anti-inflammatory benefits by halting cytokine production from muscle tissue. She recommended breaking up sitting every hour with movement to prevent pro-inflammatory systems from becoming established, regardless of earlier exercise completion.
