Common habits can lead to conditions like diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke

People spends the majority of their time sitting down during the day.

But are you aware of how the body is impacted by spending 6 to 8 hours a day sitting still?

If you have this habit, be aware that it can lead to a variety of illnesses.
The following are the impacts on the body, and certainly, engaging in some form of physical activity for a few hours each day is the greatest method to prevent them.

According to a Simon Fraser University and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences study published in June 2022, if a person spends more than eight hours a day sitting down, their chance of developing heart disease rises by 20%.

According to earlier studies, persons who spend more time sitting have a double the risk of developing heart disease, having a heart attack, or having a stroke than those who are physically active.

Risk of dying young

Spending more time sitting during the day raises your risk of dying young from any cause.

Spending more time sitting has a negative impact on mental health as well since it increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, and cholesterol, all of which contribute to mental decline. Sitting for seven hours a day cannot be reversed, not even with seven hours of activity every week.

Sitting in a chair all day raises your risk of developing diabetes, just like it does for any disease.

Although the cause of this is unclear, medical professionals think that increased sitting alters how the body reacts to insulin, which raises blood sugar.
Clots of blood The danger of blood clots in the legs is also increased by prolonged sitting.

The best strategy to prevent this blood clot from developing is to avoid sitting down for an extended period of time.

Do you watch TV more frequently now? Are you having trouble using social media or the internet? If so, you should also be ready for obesity or body weight growth.

Spending more time in front of a screen can also cause anxiety since it interferes with sleep, which in turn heightens mental and physical anxiety and eventually results in an anxiety disorder.

In a similar vein, social anxiety is linked to spending more time in front of the TV and less time with friends and family.

A bad sitting posture that stresses the neck, spine, and waist puts too much pressure on these structures.
The waist suffers when you sit for too long, even on a comfortable chair.

Bone fragility
People who are not more physically active are more likely to develop bone brittleness as they age and become unable to perform simple daily tasks.

Doctors advise engaging in physical activity for a few hours each day to prevent this.

Lung or colon cancer may potentially result from this behavior.
In actuality, the risk increases the more time you spend sitting.

How do you defend?
If you work in an office, get up every 30 minutes and take a short walk. Make exercise a habit at home and take the kids on a walk outside the house.
