According to study, Long periods of sitting have been associated to a variety of health problems, including obesity, harmful cholesterol levels, high blood sugar, and excess body fat around the waist.
Increased Risk of Diabetes
Cells in the body muscles do not quickly respond to insulin released by the pancreas when a person sits for long. The pancreas produces more insulin, leading to diabetes.
Depression
Even if you exercise, sitting at work increases your risk, according to a study published in Mental Health and Physical Activity. According to studies, the more people walk during the day, the happier they are.
Back And Neck Pain
Just four hours of sitting can compress a key disc in your lower back. Poor posture can also contribute to neck disc problems, such as a herniated disc.
Increased Risk of Obesity, Diabetes & Heart Problems
Weight-bearing exercise, such as standing and walking, stimulates your skeleton in a beneficial way, encouraging specialised cells to replace old bone tissue with new bone tissue.
Clots in the blood
Sedentary lifestyle causes slow blood flow in the legs, which, along with reduced levels of clot-preventing proteins, raises your risk.
Adopt A Healthy Lifestyle
Adopt a habit to take a 5-10 minute break. Take a quick stroll around your office, take the stairs if possible, and walk while you make a phone call.
