It’s not unusual in the modern age to spend hours each day in front of a desk. Between office jobs, Netflix binges, and other sedentary activities, people simply don’t get up and move around as much as they once did. However, this can be downright dangerous in many cases; not only can long periods of inactivity contribute to weight gain and fatigue, but it can be just as dangerous as unhealthy diets and other self destructive behaviors.<\/p>\n

Northwestern University<\/a><\/strong> released a study that stated every hour of inactivity increased the risk of becoming disabled by 50%, regardless of the amount of exercise someone receives. While this can be fought against through the use of standing desks and regular activity, adopting a regular exercise routine and following it every day is absolutely essential to a long and healthy life.<\/p>\n

Avoiding ‘Sitting Disease’<\/h2>\n

While there is no formal name for long periods of inactivity, it has been unofficially dubbed sitting disease. Luckily for everyone, there are several ways to fight against it. Salus Homecare<\/a><\/strong>, a company specialized in home-based medical care, recommends the following activities.<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. 1. Walk more<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

      Find ways to implement more walking into your day to day life. Park at the far end of the parking lot, avoid taking a short cut, and walk those three blocks to your lunchtime cafe rather than driving. A little bit of extra activity can never hurt, and who knows; it may help work off a few extra calories.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. 2. Take up yoga<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Many people, due to unrelated health problems, are unable to play sports or take part in other high-impact activities. However, they can still take charge of their own health through yoga, tai chi, and many other low-impact aerobic exercises that get the blood flowing and the body moving.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. 3. Adopt outdoor activities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The most popular hobbies of the modern age are watching Netflix and drinking wine. Video games, dining out, and other ways of passing the time don’t help. Taking up a hobby like woodworking, gardening, or any other activity that requires you to move around frequently while taking part is a good and easy way to implement more movement into your day to day life.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. 4. Speak with your physician<\/strong><\/li>\n
          2. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you aren’t sure what you can do to make a change in your way of living, speak with your doctor. He or she will be able to make personalized recommendations that will help you become healthier and knock out any oncoming health problems that may be arising as a result of too much sedentary activity.<\/p>\n

            Daily activity has been shown to reduce the risk of death by 75% or more, especially in older people. As age sets in, it becomes more difficult to be active; however, by remaining active throughout your entire life, you can avoid this problem and take your health into your own hands. The choice is yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
