Here’s how this habit affects you:
Sitting for long periods slows down circulation, resulting in poor blood flow. This puts you at a higher risk of developing heart disease and high blood pressure, which can have serious consequences for your overall health.
When you’re sedentary for extended periods, your metabolism slows down, making it easier to gain weight and harder to burn fat. This not only affects your weight but also increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Extended sitting weakens your core muscles and places stress on your lower back and hips. This can lead to muscle imbalances, joint pain, and poor posture. Taking breaks and incorporating movement into your day can help alleviate these issues.
