The consequences of a sedentary lifestyle physical problems Health problems are varied and affect any individual, although among the most common we have: - Obesity or overweight. - Cholesterol. - Increased risk of cardiovascular disease. - Health problems derived from high blood pressure. - Increased feelings such as depression and anxiety. - Certain types of cancer, such as colon, breast, and uterine cancer. - Osteoporosis. - Lumbar and back pain. All of these health problems are directly associated with a lack of physical activity. That is why it is so important to combat the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle with healthy habits.
Mental problems Leading a sedentary life not only has consequences on our body, our mind can also be greatly affected by inactivity. Some of the effects of a sedentary lifestyle for our mental health are: - Generalized discouragement and apathy. - Greater propensity to stress, which in turn causes additional tiredness. - Insomnia. - Lack of motivation prevents achieving specific goals, which can lead to frustration. - Procrastination, that is, indefinitely delaying day-to-day obligations. - Memory can also be affected, since the brain wears out due to lack of activity, and in the worst case it can lead to neurodegenerative diseases typical of old age. Social problems A sedentary lifestyle can also harm our social life. Not leading an active life is often accompanied by fewer social activities, so you commonly lose contact with those close to you and end up falling into isolation and loneliness.
Importance of physical activity
Performing the recommended daily physical exercise is much easier than you think. If your thing is not going to the gym or going for a run, don't worry! There are small healthy habits that you can incorporate into your daily life almost without realizing it. - Avoid taking the elevator and going up and down the stairs. - If you are in front of a computer, get up at least once an hour. - When you stop to eat, take the opportunity to walk around the surroundings and thus cover the daily physical exercise. - Try to talk on the phone standing up. - If you return home by public transport, get off one stop earlier and take a walk until you get home. - You can also forget about the bus and go to work by bike. - If you get bored at home, you can sit down and get up from the sofa as a squat. In summary, get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of slightly more intense physical activity per week to combat sedentary lifestyle. Is carrying out daily exercise easier than you thought?
Regular physical activity can help keep your thinking, learning, and judgment skills strong as you age. It can also reduce your risk of depression and anxiety, as well as help you sleep better.
Thank you very much!
