5. Diabetes
There is nothing more satisfying than sitting in bed in front of a computer or a TV for as long as we want, but its advantages are worse than the temporary relief it gives us. Studies have shown that spending only five days in bed can lead to an increased risk of insulin resistance. If prolonged sitting is a normal habit in your life, then you have a 112% higher risk of diabetes, according to research.
6. Anxiety and depression
Besides all the physical issues you might face, prolonged sitting can also negatively mess with your mental health. When you suddenly feel down, sad, and with no motivation to get up and be active, then understand that one of the worst dangers of sitting has crawled into you.
There are still not enough studies that link sitting and mental health, but it’s proved that those sitting too much have more risks to develop anxiety and depression. Get up and start moving; there is so much fun and joy outside to grasp!
