Dangers of the sedentary life

Dangers of the sedentary life

Whether you know that the habit to spend the most part of time in the sitting position slowly us kills? The majority is known that it is necessary to rise each 45 minutes and that, generally, you feel numbness of all muscles if you sit during the long period of time.

This habit can reduce our life, and it was already shown scientifically. It seems to you exaggeration? Try to recreate the route and the schedule of the typical working day in mind.

You wake up in the morning, are prepared by new day and go to work. If you drive the car, you already lost from the very beginning any chance to play "extreme" sports in public transport. But if you go on the last, then more than possibly that every time you sit down on sitting, whether it be the bus or the subway. Even if motive is to avoid crowd and the crush, all the same you sit.  

Having arrived to work, you sit down in the chair more conveniently. Many of us are accustomed not to get up from there until don't feel any more the buttocks and when rigid muscles of the neck send desperately to brain receptors nervous arrows "Hey, we grew dumb! We will do some exercises?"".  

The way back to the house differs in nothing. Arrival home irrespective of, you will begin to do something on economy or to take care of children, will end equally – you will sit down on the sofa at the living room in front of the TV. And then smoothly move to the bedroom that stones have a rest a little more.  

The typical daily routine of the working person assumes that you carry out the most part of day sitting, experiencing big strain for the backbone and muscles of the neck. Returning to the conclusion the scientist it is possible to summarize: the sedentary life kills you.  

According to them, the long inaction even if you sometimes visit gym affects badly health. Though researches still preliminary, previous data show that the people who are carrying out the most part of day sitting, face serious problems, such as obesity or even heart attacks more often.  

After four hours in the sitting position, the body begins to send "harmful" signals. The hormones which are engaged in regulation by the level of glucose and fats in the organism begin to limit the activity. All this leads to postponement of fats.

 Even those people who work out periodically aren't exempted from these troubles if they spend the rest of the time, sitting in the chair or on the chair. Experts advise to alternate these periods.  

Other research published last year in Canada confirms the Swedish data. Under observation of scientists there were about 17,000 Canadians. Inactive people who spent the most part of time, sitting on the chair or the chair, tested the big risks for death caused by various diseases, directly connected with physical activity in comparison with those who kept the good habit to move more often. Though researchers came to some conclusions, they had no time yet to analyze nuances. Thus, though they are sure that the sedentary image strongly damages health, but for the present can't tell as far as it is harmful.

Thus, for our benefit, it is necessary to interrupt the seat periods as often as possible. Even if we spend all our day at office, it is necessary to find as much as possible reasons to rise from the chair. Let's say if you want to take rest and tell your colleague the ridiculous story, it isn't necessary to do it via electronic means of communication, and get up and go to him to office on foot. Thus, you can kill two hares with one shot: you move and strengthen the relations at work.
