Good news, fidgeters, leg shakers and foot tappers: Your inability to sit still may help you live longer.
New research suggests that fidgeting may stave off the dangers of sitting, which reports have tied to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even death.
A study of more than 12,000 UK women over 12 years found that the health of those who self-identified as occasional to constant fidgeters was not impaired by sitting for longer periods of time, and in some instances, the risk of death even decreased.
