Yet, another study that shows the health benefits of frequently moving. According to this study of the University of Toronto, working out and then sitting at your desk all day is not healthier than sitting at your desk and not working out at all.

Consistently moving throughout the day even stimulates production of the BRCA protein, a substance that helps to prevent cancer.
