Sedentary lifestyles rank among smoking and malnutrition in terms of risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes
Sedentary lifestyles rank among smoking and poor nutrition in terms of the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. According to recent studies in Queensland and Melbourne, Australia, half an hour in the gym can not replace sitting all day at work. The most interesting thing is that according to them, walking at home or even just walking in the office can help us keep fit.
In fact, the effect of movement is being discussed extremely actively today, whether moderately or more intensely. The fact is, however, that stagnation does not allow us to benefit from this motor activity. To have one, experts advise more and more often to take breaks of a few minutes to unload. This significantly helps control waist circumference, body mass index, lipid levels and blood glucose.
These factors have been widely cited as negative for cardiovascular status. Impaired carbohydrate tolerance and insulin resistance also have an adverse effect on the vascular system. Both can be improved by exercise and normal body weight.
