Do you ever sit for a long time every day?
Before answering this question, let's see if you are truly "sedentary", some people say that sitting for half an hour is sedentary, and some people say that sitting for 1 hour is sedentary. In fact, generally speaking, if you sit for more than 8 hours a day, more than 5 days in a week, or sit for 2 hours without any major movements, then you can be called sedentary.
Moreover, according to this phenomenon, many people do not take it seriously, thinking that just sitting is not harmful to their health. In fact, sitting for a long time can really cause illness and may even become a risk factor for cancer.
That is to say, when you are sitting every day, such as sitting at work, eating, watching TV, playing with your mobile phone, etc., it is equivalent to you can't do without this state all day, so you should be vigilant.
Not to be underestimated,SedentaryIt has been listed by the World Health Organization as one of the "Top 10 Causes of Disease and Death". If you sit for a long time, your body will face multiple hazards:
Sedentary may increase the risk of colorectal cancer, in the "American Journal of Epidemiology" in the latest research conducted by Australian scientists said that long-term sedentary work, compared with people who have not engaged in static work will have a higher risk of colorectal cancer about 2 times, the reason is because long-term sitting will lead to slowing down gastrointestinal peristalsis, when more and more metabolites accumulate in the intestines, it may develop colorectal cancer.

On the basis of abdominal obesity, it is also recommended to induce the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, coronary heart disease and other diseases.
Nowadays, there is a method of counteracting for people who have not been able to sit for a long time, according to a study from the University of Tromsø in Norway, from the analysis 120,000 adults over the age of 50 found that people who were sedentary for more than 12 hours a day had a 38% increased risk of death, but on that basis, more than 22 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per day reduced the risk of death by 15% to 35%.
For thisIt is recommended that everyone exercise for at least half an hour a dayIf this standard is not met, it can be done 3 to 7 days a week. In addition to aerobic exercise, you can also choose other simple forms of exercise, such as tiptoeing, squatting against the wall, squatting and walking, etc.
