As a retired middle aged man, I enjoy sitting at home watching the Television or playing games with my friends. However, a friend of mine has warned me against this habit. Kindly advise me.

Cardiovascular disease risk increased by an average of 15% for every additional hour a person sat after sitting for 10 hours a day. This finding confirms previous studies that have found sitting for long periods can lead to increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
