Standing desks have been promoted as a healthy alternative for office workers who don't want to stay seated in front of a computer all day. But a new study suggests that standing desks may not be so good for us after all.

A research team, led by scientists at the University of Sydney, has found that standing for over two hours a day may increase the risk of developing circulatory diseases that can prevent the proper flow of blood in the body.

The researchers looked at data from over 83,000 adults in the UK who were not suffering from heart disease at the start of the study. For seven days, the participants wore a device on their wrists that recorded the time they spent sitting or standing each day.

After collecting this data, the researchers recorded any heart disease or circulatory health problems the participants experienced over the following seven years.

The research team calculated that after standing for two hours, every extra 30 minutes someone stands increases their risk of having a circulatory disease by 11%.

And although standing was not associated with an increased risk of health problems like heart disease or stroke, standing does not reduce the risk of developing such health problems either.

Speaking to The Guardian, Matthew Ahmadi, one of the authors of the study, said the key point of the study's findings is that standing instead of sitting doesn't provide any health advantage, and could increase health risks for some people.

Emmanuel Stamatakis, one of the other authors of the study, told The Guardian that moving around during the day and getting regular exercise are better ways to reduce the risk of heart disease.

"Take regular breaks, walk around, go for a walking meeting, use the stairs, take regular breaks when driving long distances, or use that lunch hour to get away from the desk and do some movement," he said.

【台本/Script】

こんにちは！今日は8月13日火曜日です。「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日は、「毎（まい）」と「毎（ごと）」の違いについてお話しします。

まず、「毎（まい）」について説明します。「毎」は、くり返されることを表します。例えば、「毎日」「毎週」「毎月」のように使います。これらの単語は、ある決まった期間がくり返されることを意味します。たまに、「毎月（まいつき）」のことを「まいげつ」と間違えて言う人がいます。「まいつき」が正しいので、注意しましょう。

では、例文で確認していきましょう。「毎日朝ごはんを食べます。」という文があります。これは、次の日も次の日もくり返し朝ごはんを食べるという意味です。「毎週日曜日に友達と会います。」という文もあります。これは、次の日曜日にもその次の日曜日にも友達に会うという意味です。ここで注意があります。「毎日曜日」とは言いませんので、気をつけましょう。

次に、「毎（ごと）」について説明します。「ごと」は、一つ一つにわけて、その中で何かがあることを表します。「日ごと」「季節ごと」のように名詞の後ろにつけて使います。

例えば、「花が日ごとに大きくなります。」という文があります。これは、毎日大きくなっていくという意味です。「季節ごとに違う花が咲きます。」という文もあります。これは、春、夏、秋、それぞれ違う花が咲くという意味です。ここで注意があります。文字で「ごと」を書くときは、ひらがなで書くことが多いです。

「ごと」を使った例文をもう少し見てみましょう。
	・「クラスごとに発表をします。」
	・「大会ごとに参加する人が増えます。」
	・「町ごとに祭りの様子が違います。」

ここで、「毎（まい）」と「ごと」の使い方を比べてみましょう。例えば、「毎日」と「日ごと」の違いです。「毎日」は、次の日も次の日も同じことがくり返されることを表します。「毎日運動します。」は、昨日も今日も明日も運動することを意味します。「日ごと」は、毎日少しずつ変化があることを表します。「日ごとに寒くなります。」は、昨日より今日、今日よりも明日、寒くなっていくことを意味します。

ここで、皆さんに問題です。「毎」と「ごと」を使った正しい文はどれですか？
1.「毎朝早く起きます。」
2.「毎木曜日に映画を見ます。」
3.「毎日ごとに新しいことを勉強します。」
正解は「1.毎朝早く起きます。」です。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。「毎」と「ごと」の違いについて、楽しんでいただけましたか？これからも日本語の勉強を続けて、いろいろな言葉や表現を覚えてくださいね。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください。
それでは、また明日もお会いしましょう。またね！

People who spend a lot of time sitting down might reduce their health risks by drinking coffee, a new study suggests.

Researchers from China wanted to look at the health effects of coffee drinking and time spent sitting.

They looked at health data for nearly 11,000 people in the US and followed them for up to 13 years.

During the period of the study, 945 people died, including 284 from heart disease.

The research team found that people who sat for over eight hours a day were almost 50% more likely to die from all causes, and nearly 80% more likely to die from heart disease.

That's compared to people who sat for fewer than four hours per day.

Sitting for a long time has been linked to increased risks of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and more.

The researchers also found that people who drank the most coffee — three or more cups per day — reduced their risk of death from all causes by over 30% compared to those who drank no coffee. And they were more than 50% less likely to die from heart disease.

And drinking coffee even seemed to protect people from the health risks of sitting down: coffee drinkers could sit for more than six hours a day and still have about the same risk of death as non-coffee drinkers who sat for less than six hours.

However, the researchers said they didn't look at the effects of different types of coffee on our health, so they couldn't be sure which type was best.

They wrote that more research would be needed on this "miracle" drink.
