Sitting Too Long Is Dangerous!
Mon, 5 Oct 2020The work that require sitting too long as well as wrong diet and lack of exercise maypose the risk of various diseases. Listen to the dangers of sitting too long.
1. Sitting too long causes muscles to burn less fat, slows down blood circulation, and makes it easier for fatty acids to block blood flow to the heart. This may increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, raise cholesterol, and other problems. In addition, pancreas can also produce insulin in excess amounts, which may cause diabetes.
2. Too much sitting may trigger you to eat more and more so that you unconsciously gain weight. Especially if overeating is not balanced with regular exercise. Fat will accumulate in the body and cause obesity.
3. While sitting, muscles are idle. When you stand up, your abdominal muscles tighten so that they work, but when you sit, your abdominal muscles are not used so they can weaken.
4. If you move, muscles will move to pump blood and oxygen to the brain and will trigger the release of chemicals in the brain. However, if you sit too long, this function will be slower.
So what are you waiting for? Start now,walk more or do light exercise rather than sitting. Then our bodies will burn more calories. This may help us lose weight and strengthen muscles.
