Sedentary lifestyle is very common and popular in our seemingly ‘modern’ world. Related to quite some chronic diseases physically and mentally – and even premature death. Learn why and how to move up – scientifically verified.

THE PHILOSOPHHY BEHIND

As you know latest from our medical publications and seminars, no synthetics can support and regain our health and longevity. Only our own body can, if we support its immune system and self-healing power. With healthy diet and physical activity. Yes, physical activity.

Unfortunately, sedentarism has become the leading lifestyle of our ‘modern’ time. Such as sitting/reclining/lying down. Instead of following the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans of the U.S. Health Department of Health and Human Services. Requiring 150 minutes of physical activity per week.

In fact, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) only some 20% of adults are meeting this physical requirement. And only 5% come up with half an hour of physical activity per day.

With the consequence of quite a few different ‘chronic’ diseases.

DANGERS OF SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE

As we have learned from international science, these diseases may include, inter alia, not only physical health issues such as
* cardiovascular disease (including high blood pressure)
* specific types of cancer
* type 2 diabetes
* obesity

but also mental health disorders.

More than that, it also relates in many cases to

* premature death

According to international research at, inter alia,
- UiT The Arctic University of Norway in Tromso, Norway
- University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain
&
- Qingdao University Medical College in Qingdao, China

BENEFITS OF MOVEMENT

The risk of all this negative impact may be well cut down by

increasing physical activity

with special reference to exercise and sports.

Also

cutting down time of sedentarism

is helpful. E.g., by

walking to work
working at a standing desk
standing instead of sitting on public transport
taking stairs instead of the elevator
making phone calls by walking outside instead of inside the office
