Is Standing On Cement For The Whole Day Harmful To Heart?
I am 56, no history of heart trouble, but with many family who have died of health disease. I jog three times per week, and weigh 180 lbs, and have no health problems I know of. Here is the question:
I stand on cement in one place most of the day at work. Is this hard on my heart?

No , per say standing on cement at one place will not affect your heart directly , however two things you may note are
1) as your job doesn't involve a active exercise at the same time tire you enough making you unable to perform recreational sports , it's important you balance life towards healthy diet and at least 45 mins of aerobic workout a day .
2)n long standing would make you prone to varicose veins , so consider wearing stocking for the same .
Hoping I could help.
