5 Negative Effects of Sedentary Living

​According to studies, Americans spend 70% of their day sitting. During their lifetime, 93% of our time is spent indoors. If we based it on these studies, we can say that most people are living a sedentary lifestyle. 

You may say that walking around the neighborhood or jogging in the morning is tiring and can take up some of your busy time. If you think it is more comfortable to sit in your couch or lie on the bed to calm your nerves and relax your mind, know that they come with negative effects too.

Some of the signs of living a sedentary lifestyle is weight gain, feeling of tiredness always, anxiety and stress. It definitely takes a toll on your overall health and well being. 

Here are some reasons why a sedentary living is not the right way to live:
​1. Lower Level of Blood Circulation
If you remain stationary for an extended period of time every day, it can result in reduced blood circulation. When that happens, you can potentially experience blood clotting, pain and swelling on certain parts of the body such as in your ankles.

2. Weakness of Bones and Muscles
To be able to perform your daily tasks fast and easy, you need to have lean muscle tissues. But, if you have a sedentary lifestyle, simple chores become more tiring and more difficult. That is because your bones and muscles are losing their strength.

3. Risk of Diabetes
A body that is constantly stationary is not using enough blood sugar. This can bring about negative effects on your body. Many experts say that an hour spent sitting and watching TV increases the risk of acquiring diabetes by 3%. 

4. Risk of Heart Disease
You are not burning plenty of your fats when you sit for a long time. The blood flow also runs at a slower pace, which allows the fatty acids to clog your heart, resulting to coronary heart condition. 

5. Brain Fog
Being stationary for a long time may eventually cause the person to have difficulty focusing and concentrating. This is because your body is not pumping enough blood when you are not moving. A slow cognitive functions can result in brain fog.

Conclusion
There are ways to prevent the dangers of sedentary living. Do your duty to make your body and mind healthy, and this starts with reducing the time you spend being stationary.
