problems caused by sedentary
sedentary often increases the risk of premature death. It is estimated that, Moderate to vigorous exercise for 60-75 minutes a day may offset the risk of premature death caused by sedentary more than 8 hours a day. Of course, individuals need to take more exercise, which should be at least twice the minimum recommended exercise for adults, and reducing sedentary time may also have additional health enhancement effects.
many studies have found that reducing sedentary and replacing sedentary with low-intensity walking may improve people’s blood glucose control level after meals, which means that the body’s glucose level will not rise too high or fall too low. The most likely explanation is that the functioning muscles will consume part of the body’s glucose, So as to help maintain the body’s glucose in an optimal range.
studies have shown that when glucose control is mentioned, moderate physical exercise throughout the day is better than moderate intensity physical exercise in the morning, although the total energy consumption caused by moderate exercise is the same as that of moderate intensity exercise in the morning. Improving glucose control may help explain the health benefits of reducing sedentary time, but what impact will it have on brain function?
Relationship between sitting too long and brain function
some researchers have investigated the effect of sedentary on brain function, but they have obtained mixed results. Some laboratory research results support the effect of sedentary on brain health, Some laboratories object to such results; Some people think that sitting can damage the memory performance related to task processing. What are the hazards of other types of research on a large number of
sedentary?
sedentary harm 1: Sedentary causes insufficient blood supply to the brain, reduces brain oxygen supply and nutrients, aggravates human fatigue, insomnia, memory loss, and increases the possibility of Alzheimer’s disease.
sedentary harm 2: Sedentary immobility will cause muscle pain, neck stiffness, headache and dizziness, and aggravate people’s lumbar and cervical diseases.
sedentary harm 3: according to the law, sitting in the office and working hard every day consumes a lot of mental and physical strength. You should always feel hungry, but why don’t you want to eat or feel hungry when it’s time to eat? This is the power of sedentary.
sedentary harm 4: Sedentary can make the venous plexus near the rectum congested for a long time, aggravate the degree of congestion, aggravate people’s hemorrhoids, and lead to stool bleeding, anal fissure and other diseases.
sedentary harm 5: when the calories consumed are greater than the calories consumed, the fat in the body is easy to accumulate and the weight will rise. Obesity is a risk factor for a variety of chronic diseases.
sedentary harm 6: people keep sitting for a long time, their whole body weight is pressed at the bottom of the spine, and their shoulders and neck are inactive for a long time, which is easy to cause cervical stiffness, and even lead to spinal deformation and induce arched back and hyperosteogeny.
sedentary harm 7: Sedentary immobility will compress the bladder meridian located at the hips and thighs, resulting in poor blood flow in the bladder meridian, leading to abnormal bladder function, while the kidney meridian and bladder meridian are in the same surface, which will lead to abnormal renal function, the so-called & ldquo; Sedentary injury to kidney & rdquo; That’s the truth.
Five moves to prevent sedentary injury
1. Adjust the seat height to maintain a correct sitting posture
incorrect sitting posture will affect the blood circulation of the whole body, slow metabolism and lead to body obesity. However, it is very difficult to maintain a correct sitting posture all the time. At this time, you can force to maintain a correct sitting posture by adjusting the seat height. In this way, muscle tightening is conducive to weight loss.
2. Put a mirror beside you
people want to show their best when taking photos and looking in the mirror, so they will unconsciously tighten their body muscles. Therefore, you can put a mirror in the work place, that is, you can see yourself all the time, and promote muscle tightening to achieve the purpose of weight loss.
3. Always seize the time to exercise
drink an appropriate amount of water, stretch your feet from time to time, stand up and walk. Take time to exercise during lunch or when you go to the bathroom.
4. Reasonable intake of snacks
the great enemy of sedentary is snacks and desserts. You can eat more nuts and dried fruits. It has nutrition and is not easy to get fat.
5. Relax your mind
in fact, in addition to the problems of body metabolism, the other reason for getting fat is that you have unconsciously accumulated a lot of pressure and can’t release it. Over time, it leads to obesity. Therefore, after work, we should learn to relax our mind and give our mind a holiday.
