What are the specific effects of long-term sedentary on the body?

My previous job was sitting for a long time, which can be described as sitting out all over. Cervical pain, calf valgus and spinal curvature were annoying and super ugly. Let me talk about what harm sedentary will bring to the body.

1. Harm to your spine

Sitting posture brings more pressure to your spine than standing posture, and the back muscles will be stretched at the back of the pelvis, which will affect your back health over time. This is how many people get low back pain.

if you sit for a long time and your posture is crooked, it will make your spine worse. According to statistics, 4% patients with back pain spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer every day. Therefore, Xiao Bian suggested setting an alarm clock for your computer and standing up every 4 minutes to do stretching exercises.

2. Increasing the risk of heart disease

Sitting for a long time will slow down the blood flow, and fatty acids in the body will be deposited on blood vessels, which will increase the viscosity of blood. After a long time, it will easily lead to coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis, and may also lead to a sudden heart attack, with a mortality rate as high as 7%.

3. It leads to low immunity

Sitting for a long time leads to low immune cell ability and decreased disease resistance, and it is easy to suffer from various diseases. At the same time, sitting for a long time will make a lot of water accumulate in the lower body. When you lie down at night, the water will flow back to the upper body, squeezing the lumen of the upper respiratory tract, increasing the risk of sleep apnea, and chronic cough is also easy to persist.

4. Memory decline

Sitting for a long time will lead to slow blood circulation, which will lead to the failure to supply blood to the brain normally. When people's brain is injured, their memory will decline. Without normal blood supply, the brain will be greatly damaged.

5. Causes hemorrhoids

Sitting for a long time will easily lead to the increase of rectal venous pressure, while sitting in a posture for a long time will cause the pressure to accumulate in a certain area, which will lead to the slow expansion of venous blood vessels around the rectum, and congestion will cause hemorrhoids.

6. It is harmful to your neck

Keeping a posture for a long time keeps the neck and shoulder muscles in a state of tension. Under normal circumstances, the cervical vertebra has physiological curvature, but some people who have been sedentary for a long time will find that their physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra disappears and becomes straight, while others become kyphosis. Contrary to normal, they often feel uncomfortable in the neck.

This is the early manifestation of cervical spondylosis, or local cervical spondylosis. In addition, the neck muscle spasm caused by staring at the computer for a long time can also lead to dizziness and stiffness of shoulders and neck.

7. It's harmful to your pancreas.

Didn't you expect it? If you sit all day, your pancreas will also be hurt.

Skeletal muscle is a "big consumer" of energy. If muscle cells are idle for too long, their response to insulin will become more and more slow. In order to keep these muscle cells in a normal active state, the pancreas will produce a large amount of insulin. However, if the blood insulin is too high, the insulin receptors in muscle cells will become more insensitive, which will easily lead to a vicious circle of glucose metabolism in the body and eventually lead to diabetes and other diseases.

8. Hips are infected by bacteria

Apart from the ugly flat buttocks, sitting for a long time will lead to poor local circulation in the buttocks. In addition, young people aged 2-3 are exuberant in the secretion of fat glands in their skin and buttocks, and the humid and warm environment creates a good living environment for the growth of fungi, so the fungi quietly "settle down".

The skin infected by fungi is extremely itchy, and the local skin is dark red with clear boundaries. If you look closely, you can see erythema, papules and scales inside.

9. Infertility

At present, the vast majority of women are office workers. Sitting in front of the computer for a long time without exercise will lead to the aggravation of dysmenorrhea, which will cause problems in blood circulation. For a long time, women's ovaries and fallopian tubes will not work normally, which will easily lead to chocolate cysts, which will lead to infertility in women.

sedentary for a long time can easily lead to obesity, constipation and other problems. Anyway, there are disadvantages and disadvantages. Do you think sitting for a long time is super scary after reading the above?

so, how long does it take to sit for a long time?

if the total time spent sitting every day exceeds 8 hours, it is sedentary. Apart from the total sitting time in a day, if you sit for more than one hour at a time, even if you don't sit for more than eight hours a day, you are sedentary. If you sit for more than 9 minutes, the impact on your body will be even greater.

but the fact is that our usual work and study really require sedentary, so what should we do? Here are a few ways to relieve sedentary, which you can try.

For example, at work, if you sit for more than 45 minutes, you can get up and go to the toilet, or take exercise to stretch your muscles and promote blood circulation, which can reduce the negative impact of sedentary.

After sitting for a long time, you can change your posture or put an headrest behind the chair, which can alleviate the harm caused by sitting for a long time.

You can make beautiful ballet swan arms, and 15 minutes a day is enough. It's super easy to use, no matter how sedentary you are, it will make you comfortable and transparent, and it will be effective for cervical vertebrae and shoulders. Recommended recommended!

So we can alleviate the harm of sedentary by the above methods. Well, I'm going to stand up and exercise my muscles. I don't want to get fat.
