Reasons Why To Get More Active! Sedentary Lifestyle Linked to obesity and health complications

 Inactivity leads to Obesity & Other Health Complications




  • As You Stay Sedentary, you aren't improving your health.
  • You're letting your body, muscles, and strength go down. Decreased Bone and Muscle Strength, Durability, and Density.
  • Developing Type 2 Diabetes |  Heart Disease | Cancer Development | High Blood Pressure / Cholesterol
  • Mental Issues : Anxiety, Depression, Poor thoughts
  • Weight Gain | Weight Loss
  • Weakened Immune System | Hormonal Imbalances | Poor Blood Circulation |


Sedentary lifestyles increase all causes of mortality, double the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity, and increase the risks of colon cancer, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, lipid disorders, depression, and anxiety.


If you do less exercise or activity you will become deconditioned. Your muscles weaken and lose bulk including the muscles you need for breathing and the large muscles in your legs and arms. You will become more breathless as you do less activity.


A sedentary lifestyle has been linked to mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, and chronic stress, so Peterson explains how sitting for more than eight hours a day can, over time, decrease motivation, contribute to fatigue, make it difficult to manage anxiety and stress, etc.


Not exercising, or even not getting physical activity, is a confirmed risk factor of premature death. In fact, inactivity and being sedentary cause more deaths around the world than cigarette smoking or diabetes, according to a study published in The Lancet.
