Sitting position has gone wrong．
（37）ACertainly people have done that for thousands of years．But lately，not so much．In general，scientists believe，Americans now sit for more than half of their walking hours．Sadly，the sitting position exerts force on the body which can lead to a lot of trouble including poor circulation（血液循环），aches and pains．

（39）ESitting at your desk and working hard for hours on end can increase your chances of getting a promotion．（40）FWhen comparing people who spent the most time sitting with those who spent the least time sitting，researchers found more sitting increases the risks of death from all causes．
