Prolonged sitting is dangerous to your health. It encourages health problems to invade your body and you become overweight. Being heavy and obese not only affects how you look, but your health as well, since it is one of the causes of type 2 diabetes.
Why You Should Start Moving
If you sit all day in front of the TV or computer, you are living a sedentary lifestyle and this will never give you good outcomes. Some of the health issues that could appear include:
•Your bones become less dense. Lack of mobility decrease bone density, which just means you have weaker bones. The amount of calcium in the bones eventually lessens and many diseases, such as osteoporosis, become the result.
•Your metabolism is affected. Since you don’t move enough, your muscles, including those in your legs, contribute to slow circulation. As a result, you burn fewer calories.
•Your blood sugar increases. Less movement causes the body to ignore most of the blood sugar in it. In this case, your risk of acquiring diabetes increases to seven percent.
•Heart disease risk increases. As with blood sugar, your risk for heart disease goes up as well. This is because the enzymes that monitor and control your blood fats become inactive.
•Sedentary lifestyle can cause depression. When you are physically active, many feel-good hormones are produced in the brain. The contrary happens when you sit all day.
So we need to move for us to live healthy and happy lives.
