For two years this went on daily, with the water bearer delivering one and onehalf pots full of water to his masters house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its acplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to acplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it had perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke one day to the water bearer by the stream. I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. Why? asked the bearer. What are you ashamed of? I have been able for these last two years to deliver only half my load, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master39。s side? That is because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you have watered them. For two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate my master39。 while standing, you often shift from leg to leg. All of this burns energy. You may think you have no choice about how much you sit. But this isn’t true. Suppose you sleep for eight hours each day, and exercise for one. That still leaves 15 hours of activities. Even if you exercise, most of the energy you burn will be burnt during these 15 hours, so weight gain is often the cumulative(累積的 ) effect of a series of small decisions: Do you take the stairs or the elevator? Do you walk to the corner store, or drive? But it looks as though there’s a more sinister aspect to sitting. Some evidence suggests that when you spend long periods sitting, your body actually does things that are bad for you. Lipoprotein lipase(蛋白脂酶 ) is a molecule that plays a central role in how the body processes fats. Low levels of lipoprotein lipase are associated with a variety of health problems. Studies in rats show that leg muscles only produce this molecule when they are actively being moved. The result is that when you sit, an important part of your metabolism(新陳代謝 ) slows down. You may also have a higher risk of suffering from diabetes(糖尿病 ). Some people have advanced radical solutions to the sitting syndrome(綜合癥 ): replace your sitdown desk with a standup desk, or watch television in a rocking chair. But whatever you choose, know this.
