    CHRONIC DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH INACTIVITY

    You can’t be inactive and not expect some repercussions. Doctors don’t advise their patients to live an active lifestyle just because the doctors like to be mean or bossy. There are real benefits to living an active lifestyle. Our bodies are designed to be in motion for a good portion of the day. You may have a job where you spend a good deal of your day seated in front of a computer and you feel like you don’t have the opportunity to be as active as you should be. You’ll be amazed at what a simple five minute stretch every hour or so while you are working will do. Add to this a regular exercise routine during the week and you’ll feel so much better and be a more productive person in both work-related issues and other issues pertaining to the rest of your life. If you set the positives of a physically active life aside and take a look at the repercussions associated with inactivity then you may find an even more urgent reason for getting healthy. How do you feel when you spend a great deal of time hunched over a computer or lounging on a sofa in front of the television? You certainly don’t feel invigorated. Your body does need occasional rest, but it just isn’t designed to stay static all the time. Instead of shrugging your responsibilities to your body and health by not putting forth any effort to be active, you need to figure out a way to motivate yourself to get active. Know this: your health will suffer if you don’t take the time to move around once in a while. Do you want to live a life riddled with various health problems resulting from your propensity toward inactivity? Or would you rather take the time to add just a little activity to your daily routine and avoid major health problems?

    Even if you are inactive now, getting active will do you wonders. If you have been inactive for quite some time then you are in a unique position to see quick results once you start attempting to live a healthier life. Our bodies crave exercise and good, nutritious foods, so when you finally start giving your body what it needs you’ll start to feel better very quickly. If you spend the vast majority of your time lounging in front of the computer or television and then you suddenly start getting up once in a while for a nice stretch, or possibly a short walk, you’re bound to feel positive residual effects from just that. You don’t have to leap right into a rigid exercise program or a restrictive diet in order to start to feel healthier. You can start to gain benefits from a healthier lifestyle almost immediately. Even if you feel a little awkward with your new activities – a walk around the block can seem like a strange activity if you’ve been sitting on your butt for the last few years – you should know that soon enough it won’t feel so strange after all. You’ll feel better and your health will improve with even the smallest changes. There is also a good chance that the small improvements you notice will catapult into other changes and then more changes until suddenly you find yourself thinking, “I can’t believe I used to sit on my butt all day!”

    There is a daunting list of health problems associated with inactivity. If you think that inactivity isn’t a very big problem then you’re kidding yourself. Our bodies are designed to be active, so it is contrary to our nature to sit around all day and not get any type of exercise or physical activity. Check out what medical professionals have to say about inactivity:
    Inactive people have a much higher risk of developing hypertension.
    Thousands of deaths annually are attributed to complications from inactivity.
    Inactivity can lead to heart disease and stroke.
    Inactivity is considered on par with cigarette smoking as a risk factor when it comes to developing heart disease.
    You should also know that your risk factors increase dramatically when you couple inactivity with a family history of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other ailments. If you know that your family history includes these types of problems yet you still persist in being inactive you really should stop and wonder why in the world you are allowing yourself to become a ticking time bomb with regard to your health. Don’t you value your life enough to get up off the couch and take a walk around the block? Doesn’t the thought of contracting some disease or illness dissuade you from remaining inactive? Does the thought of a premature death motivate you to get moving? If not, then you need to examine why you aren’t moved by these revelations…and then you need to do something about it.
