The calm life of little strenuous activity is the desire of many. Most people embrace the idea of working like a slave today that they may live like a king tomorrow. Having enough money to sit the whole day on a couch watching TV without starving seems to be the life goal of many. The explosion of online working, addictive TV series, and social media has almost made inactivity a natural way of living. 
Nonetheless, sedentary lifestyle has numerous adverse effects on a person’s health, especially if it begins at early years. Here is a quick look at the impact of this lifestyle and a tip on how to get out of it.
Mood Spoiler
Several studies have shown the benefits of active life to the mood. The body produces the feel-good hormone, endorphins, during exercise. Consequently, inactivity reduces the production of these mood boosters leading to low spirits. Another study by the Australian government observed that workers who spent 3 hours or less sitting at work were happier than those who spent six hours or more. The latter group was more nervous, mentally stressed, moody, and tired than the former.
The Pandora’s Box of Diseases
Research in Germany revealed that sedentary life significantly increased the risk of developing several types of cancer. It raised the chance of developing cancers of the lungs, the colon, and the endometrium by 21%, 24%, and 32% respectively. The risk doubles in those who spend hours watching TV or online games. It is because most of them also live primarily on junk food and sweetened beverages. Diabetes, obesity, and all the related problems are expected results. Sedentary behavior is the Pandora’s Box of diseases in the current world.
What to Do
The solution is simple, get active. Exercise for half an hour daily. You can choose to walk, run or plan home-based workout sessions. Do not wait until you feel strong enough as one of the effects of sedentary lifestyle is to feel tired.
