1. Spending hours a day sitting at a desk is known to have consequences for your health, but scientists now say just five-minute walking stints could counteract some of the risks.

The effects of these microbouts of activity were found to last all day, and could even help to alleviate food cravings while you're at work.

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity. And, this sedentary lifestyle increases the risks of diabetes, depression, and obesity, among other health concerns.
