Problems Derived From Prolonged Sitting
How sitting all day affects the body:
Neck gets tense and tight
Tight chest and stiff shoulders
Trapezius muscle gets strained
Diss in lower back begin to bulge
Hips get weak
Knee pain develops
Sciatica develops
Feet become flatter
Poor circulation
Muscle degeneration
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Hindered breathing
Brain fog
Carpal tunnel
Physical inactivity linked to:
Diabetes
Poor heart health
Weight gain
Depression
Dementia
Multiple cancers
Vascular Problems (blood clots and deep vein thrombosis
More dangers from prolonged sitting and sedentary behavior:
Inactivity of muscles which causes lack of Lymph fluid flows
The body has over 600 Lymph nodes
that flows through the tissues which is responsible for:
attacking, destroying and eliminate waste especially foreign invaders
Your Lymph Nodes work closely with your Immune system
(protects your body from foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses to prevent infection, illness or diseases)
and the Lymphatic system (protects your body from foreign invaders that cause illness, maintains fluid levels throughout your body,
absorbs nutrients and fats and removes wast from cells)
