In a study of 123,000 Americans between 1992 and 2006, Alpa Patel, an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society, found that the death rate of women who sat for six hours a day was about 40 percent higher than for women who sat for three hours or less. Patel estimates that on average, people who sit too much shave a few years off of their lives.

A study conducted by David Dunstan and published in the journal Circulation in 2010, looked at nearly 9,000 Australians and found that for each additional hour of television a person sat and watched per day, the risk of dying rose by 11 percent.

In a study of 14 healthy, normal-weight subjects (seven men and seven women), drinking 500 ml of water increased metabolic rate by 30%. The increase occurred within 10 min and reached a maximum after 30-40 min. The total thermogenic response was about 100 kJ. About 40% of the thermogenic effect originated from warming the water from 22 to 37 C. In men, lipids mainly fueled the increase in metabolic rate. In contrast, in women carbohydrates were mainly used as the energy source. The increase in energy expenditure with water was diminished with systemic beta-adrenoreceptor blockade. Thus, drinking 2 liters of water per day would augment energy expenditure by approximately 400 kJ. Therefore, the thermogenic effect of water should be considered when estimating energy expenditure, particularly during weight loss programs.
