Sitting continuously for a long time is harmful for health.
Risks of continuous sitting:During a research, it was discovered that sitting for more than 10 hours can increase the problem of dementia. People aged 60 years or more were included in this research. This research found that people who sit for more than 10 hours are most likely to suffer from dementia. This research has also revealed that people who sit for long periods of time do not get much benefit from exercise. Let us know in detail what other problems can arise from sitting for a long time apart from the problem of dementia.
Sugar (Diabetes)
The amount of insulin resistance increases in the body of people who are not active or active in their lifestyle. Increase in insulin in the body means sugar (diabetes). In such a situation, sitting for a long time can increase the chances of getting diabetes.
Heart Disease
Sitting too much burns less fat in the body, on the contrary it increases fat. Because of this, fat can accumulate in the arteries. Due to this, serious heart disease (cardio vascular disease) can occur.
Weight Gain
Sitting for a long time leads to weight gain because the body is not doing physical activity. Due to this reason, there are considerable chances of weight gain. Sitting for too long can cause excess fat to accumulate in the stomach and hips. Due to this, the person starts becoming more obese.
Effects On Mental Health
If we exercise, it has benefits for our body as well as our mental health. When our body remains active, happy hormones increase in our body, which reduce stress and anxiety. But, these hormones are not released or produced by sitting. Because of this, mental health does not remain good and is adversely affected.
Body Pain
Sitting for too long causes pain in the neck, back, shoulders and waist. If it is ignored, it can increase and become even more serious. If you work on a computer while sitting, there is a possibility that your posture may get spoiled due to hunched back.
