It is reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) has long listed "sedentary" as one of the top ten deadly pathogenic culprits.
According to relevant surveys, more than 40% people feel cervical pain due to long-term sedentary, and more than 22% people have obesity problems. In addition, it will also cause disc herniation, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and so on.
According to statistics, more than 2 million people around the world die every year because of sedentary behavior. It is estimated that by 2020, 70% of diseases in the world will be caused by sedentary behavior.
So, are you sedentary?
In fact, from white-collar workers to drivers, from elites to otaku, even students may become sedentary people.
The most serious one is the staff who sit in front of the computer all day. They also need to face various problems such as radiation and mouse hands.
You know, sitting for a long time can easily lead to the decline of multiple system functions of the body, which will lead to diseases and harm over time.
The harm of sedentary life
0 1 sad
Sedentary makes blood circulation slow down, leading to decreased heart function and myocardial atrophy.
Especially for middle-aged and elderly people with arteriosclerosis, the slow blood circulation caused by sedentary is the most likely to induce myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis.
02 damage to kidney
Sedentary will cause great pressure on the abdominal cavity, and the blood circulation in the abdominal cavity and lower body will be blocked, resulting in poor blood circulation in the body.
At the same time, sitting for a long time will oppress the bladder meridian, leading to poor qi and blood circulation of the bladder meridian, and sitting for a long time will lead to bladder dysfunction, which in turn will damage the kidney and cause abnormal renal function.
03 lumbar spine injury
Sitting for a long time to keep the neck, shoulders and back in a fixed posture will increase the pressure on the lumbar spine and its intervertebral discs, thus accelerating the degeneration of the lumbar spine, leading to the rupture and protrusion of the intervertebral discs, which may lead to diseases such as lumbar disc herniation.
At the same time, when you are nervous in front of the computer, you often forget to adjust the incorrect posture in time, which will make the lumbar intervertebral disc in a state of high pressure for many years, which will do great harm to the lumbar spine, easily accelerate the formation of hunchback and lead to hyperosteogeny.
Damage to the liver
Sedentary, will make a lot of calories and fat in the body can not be consumed, which is very easy to lead to fatty liver.
At the same time, long-term use of computers, watching TV, watching mobile phones, or reading books for a long time are all long-term, which will cause excessive use of eyes and damage the liver.
05 Spleen injury
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen governs transportation and muscle. Sedentary means lack of exercise, which will lead to poor qi and blood circulation in limbs, qi stagnation in spleen, slow transport function of spleen, obstruction of food digestion and absorption, inability to eat, abdominal distension and other diseases.
At the same time, sedentary will cause spleen deficiency or excessive spleen moisture, which makes people easy to relax and edema.
Damage to the lungs
Sitting for a long time usually makes the lungs in a "shallow breathing" state. At this time, only the alveoli in the upper half of the lung are working, and the alveoli in the middle and lower lobes are in a "rest" state.
If this happens for a long time, the whole lung can't get effective exercise, which will easily lead to the aging of the lung and the gradual deterioration of lung function, and will also affect the blood supply to the heart and lungs, leading to the decline of cardiopulmonary function.
