Life lies in exercise is the truth that people recognize, but in life, whether it is a child or an adult, will sit all day because of study or work, according to research, people who sit for 6 hours a day will have a mortality rate of four times after 15 years is four times that of people who sit for three hours a day, so we must correct the habit of sitting for a long time without exercise, and after sitting for a period of time, we must stand up and exercise properly, so if you want to be healthy, don't sit all day, otherwise the body will be completely out of health.
So what are the specific dangers of sitting for too long? These 3 hazards seriously affect health, both men and women, we must understand and exercise more quickly.
1. Easy to gain weight
The most obvious harm of sitting for a long time is that it is easy to gain weight, because sitting for a long time without exercise, the body's energy consumption will be greatly reduced, but at this time the body still maintains a normal diet, which will lead to the body absorbing more and digesting less, so that the excess nutrients in the body can not be consumed, and are converted into fat, which is easy to cause a large amount of fat accumulation, make the body fat, deform, and excessive fat will also cause the formation of fatty liver, resulting in thickening of the intima of the blood vessel wall, and even induce coronary arteriosclerotic heart disease in severe cases. Causes myocardial infarction.
2. Affect blood circulation
Sitting for a long time will make the blood circulation of the body become very slow, and the lower limbs are very prone to poor blood flow, resulting in venous thrombosis or capillary blockage, so that the body has symptoms of pain and numbness, which can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the cerebral blood vessels and insufficient coronary artery blood supply to the heart, resulting in hypoxia of the brain and heart.
Moreover, slow blood circulation will also affect the body's ability to digest and absorb food, resulting in significant poor digestion and absorption, which will cause nausea, acid reflux, vomiting, bloating, food accumulation or clinical symptoms of digestive obstruction in the digestive tract, which will cause great irritation to the body's stomach and intestines.
3. Cause lumbar disc herniation
It is a well-known thing that sitting for a long time can easily cause a herniated lumbar disc, so why does sitting for a long time cause a herniated lumbar disc? This is because the lumbar intervertebral disc will bear most of the weight of the body when sitting, thus causing a lot of pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc, and the lumbar intervertebral disc is one of the earliest soft tissues of the human body, and the lumbar intervertebral disc will begin to gradually age and degenerate after the age of 20, which is the pathological basis of the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, which will damage the firmness of the lumbar intervertebral disc fibrous ring.
Sitting for a long time will make the lumbar intervertebral disc in a state of compression for a long time, and it is easy to form chronic injury to the lumbar intervertebral disc, which will evolve into lumbar intervertebral disc herniation over time, so for the health of the lumbar intervertebral disc, it is necessary to minimize the habit of sitting for a long time, and lumbar intervertebral disc patients should avoid sitting for a long time.
Finally, it is important to note that for men, sitting for long periods of time can be even more harmful, as sitting for long periods of time can lead to poor blood flow in the lower limbs, and if this is often the case, the most serious consequences can be male infertility. In this way, it is not unreasonable that the harm of sitting for a long time is equivalent to smoking, so we must reduce the number of sedentary times in our lives and move around more is the best way to maintain physical and mental health.
