Why is being sedentary so bad for your body?
In: 26
Many reasons. For one, exercise helps increase calorie expenditure which minimises weight gain that would lead to increased liklihood of cardiovascular diseases. Exercise also helps your body convert nutrients to energy more efficiently, as well as reducing risk of diabetes by helping to regulate insulin.
Another reason to get moving is to maintain muscle density. Lack of strong muscle leads to aches and pains in joints due to a bone structure that is not properly supported. It also leads to issues such as hernias and increases chances of injury when overexerting yourself.
