How Sitting Too Long Affects Your Body!!!
Head
Blood clots that form after sitting too rigidly can travel to the brain , causing strokes.
Lungs
In individuals who experience heart failure , fluid first backs up in the lungs.
Arms
Physical activity reduces the risk of hypertension , or high blood pressure.
Stomach
Sitting too much contributes to obesity and colon cancer. Enzymes in the blood vessels of muscles responsible for burning fat get shut off , and the body`s method of metabolizing fuels such as glucose and lipids gets disturbed.
Neck
Fluid retained in the legs during the day moves to the neck at night and contributes to obstructive sleep apnea.
Heart
A sedentary lifestyle contributes to cardiovascular diseases. In people who suffer from heart failure and obstructive sleep apnea , fluid collects in the lungs and neck at night.
Legs
Fluid collects in the legs during sitting. Walking helps pump it out before it causes problems.
