In recent years, studies have consistently demonstrated the adverse impacts of sedentary living.
The National Library of Medicine documents that individuals who remain consistently inactive are at greater risk of crippling health problems, such as cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular issues, and more.
At the same time, more people are sitting down for longer periods of time at desks, in cars, and in other environments. Combined with additional unhealthy lifestyle choices, it’s just a matter of time before being in a consistently sedentary state eventually catches up with them.
However, all hope is not lost. A new analysis has since revealed that moderate exercise can play a substantial role in countering the dangerous impacts of sitting down for long time periods.
The study every American should be aware of
According to the British Journal of Sports Medicine, people who partake in mild exercise for just 22 minutes per day can potentially offset the health risks of continuously sitting down.
