Criticism
People who sit at their jobs have increased blood pressure and blood sugar, purely from the act of sitting. In addition to burning chemical energy themselves through oxidative phosphorylation, human muscles also produce a variety of substances involved in metabolizing fat and cholesterol. However, neither of these occur when the muscle is not in use, and very little muscle mass is actively used in most desk tasks.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
