If you're sitting down for too long, 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: your brain's going to shrink. That's where I want to 4 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: get to today. There's a study that's come out saying 5 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: that if you sit for far too long, and they've 6 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: done this study at a university in the US, that 7 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: your brain actually starts to shrink. 8 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: So if you are. 9 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: Over the age of forty five years old, they tracked 10 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: people for seven years to work out whether their brain 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: shrunk compared to those who were more active. And yes, 12 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: if you sit and do nothing, your brain will shrink. 13 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 3: See, we're a little bit worried about Met Fitzgerald.
