In the Three Kingdoms period, Mr. Zhuge Liang wrote in the "Table of Later Masters", but if you do not cut down thieves, Wang Ye will also die, but sit and wait to die. Sit back and wait, this idiom, from which comes out. Meaning, in difficulty, not actively looking for a way out, sitting and waiting for death. Unexpectedly, in the 21st century, sitting still will be cited by professionals and become the name of a disease. What's going on? Let's take a look at the ins and outs of this.
As early as the 18th century, some doctors realized that sitting for a long time and lack of physical activity were related to the health of the whole body. In 1953, scholars found that bus employees working in the same group had thicker waistlines than conductors, and after in-depth analysis, for the first time published a study on the association of physical inactivity and the risk of chronic disease. Subsequently, the number of relevant studies increased. In 2015, more than 200 scholars proposed to define a new disease name, Sedentary Death Syndrome, which means physical activity deficiency syndrome. Some people believe that the main reason for the lack of physical activity is sedentary, so the term is translated as sitting and waiting.
Physical inactivity deficiency syndrome, figuratively translated as sit-and-die syndrome, hits the nail on the head of this type of problem. Because, in our human life arrangement, about 30% of the time spent every day is spent sleeping, in the remaining 16 hours, even if 30 minutes of exercise is carried out every day, the body will still be in a state of meditation or low-intensity activity for a long time, and many studies have found that the meditation lifestyle is not only related to the increased risk of multiple diseases, but also independent of the risk factors of exercise. That is to say, the key measure to promote health is not to increase the amount of exercise, but to reduce meditation time.
American scholars published a paper in the journal Chronic Disease Prevention in 2015. Studies have found that increased physical activity can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure in women and diastolic blood pressure in men. In patients with continuous exercise, fasting blood glucose levels decreased, and random blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels were better controlled. Therefore, scholars believe that physical activity levels are related factors in improving cardiac metabolism. In addition, studies have shown a correlation between physical activity levels and cognitive function, and that physical activity deficit accelerates cognitive function degradation.
In 2007, American scholars first proposed a theoretical hypothesis that physical inactivity is defined as an acute and chronic physiological response harmful to health caused by sedentary and other behaviors that require inactivity in daily life. And it is believed that insufficient physical activity is not the same as too little exercise. This theory is supported by multiple pieces of evidence, for example, the first, sitting less movement, has been identified as a risk factor for diseases such as coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Second, the time spent in meditation and less movement is a risk factor independent of motor behavior. Third, sit still and move less, with a clear cellular and molecular biological basis.
Sitting still is not alarmist, because meditation is already a common practice, and many people sit for more time every day than they can sleep. Studies have shown that people who work in a sedentary and less active way are in a sedentary position for about 9 to 11 hours a day. Even in leisure time, there are about 4 hours or more of time, in a state of meditation. Such a lifestyle will inevitably bring many health problems. For example, Australian scholars have surveyed more than 11,000 subjects, and the results show that the time spent watching TV is significantly associated with metabolic syndrome and glucose metabolism abnormalities, and has a dose-response relationship with blood glucose and fasting insulin levels 2 hours after meals. A large sample survey in Europe showed that the time spent watching TV was highly correlated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality.
Current studies have confirmed the relationship between sedentary inactivity and specific biomarkers of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiometabolic risks, and the associated clinical risks include blood glucose concentration, hdL lipoprotein, plasma triglycerides, and excess fat in various parts of the body, all of which are associated with sedentary inactivity time. The study also found that there is a gender difference in the impact of sitting less movement on health, and the impact of this behavior on women is more obvious, and scholars have analyzed that women may be lighter and fatter than men, which increases the susceptibility of postprandial sitting to the metabolic effect, or the habit of snacking. A recent report published in the journal The Lancet noted that a sedentary lifestyle contributes to about 6 percent of coronary heart disease, 7 percent of type 2 diabetes, 10 percent of breast cancers, and 10 percent of colorectal cancers. Lack of physical activity leads to an 9% premature mortality rate. These data tell everyone that sitting still is all around us, even on our own. Seeing this, get up and stand for a while.
