Prolonged sitting causes not only back pain. According to a growing number of scientific studies, a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer. This concerns, although to a lesser extent, even people who often do sports.

Mental Problems

A sedentary lifestyle takes its toll not only on your body but on your mind as well. Excessive sitting can lead to depression and anxiety, but you can guard against it with regular exercise and meditation.

Diabetes

A sedentary lifestyle leads to a host of health issues, including diabetes and obesity. If you, like the average American, sit for over 42 hours a week, try implementing these four effective ways to regain your health.

Cardiovascular Health

Prolonged sitting leads to cardiovascular disease and exposes you to a heart attack. Learn how to overhaul your health with short and effective exercise. All you need to do is tweak your daily schedule.

Obesity

A sedentary lifestyle is incredibly damaging to our bodies. Sitting for more than 40 hours a week leads to bad diet choices, muscle atrophy, and inevitably — obesity. It's not too late to change your life and reclaim your health.

Back Pain

Cancer

Last year, over 1,762,450 people were diagnosed with cancer in the US alone. A sedentary lifestyle makes you vulnerable to the deadly disease, but it's not too late to fix that. You can save your health by adjusting your lifestyle.

Can You Out-Exercise It?

Students Are in the Risk Group

Students spend the majority of their day sitting, both at school and in their free time. A whopping 70% report frequent gaming and an overall sedentary lifestyle. This may lead to obesity and diabetes from an early age.
