A common consequence of a sedentary lifestyle is an increased risk of chronic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Lack of physical activity can lead to weight gain and contribute to poor mental health outcomes, such as anxiety and depression. Muscles can weaken, and flexibility may decline due to decreased movement, resulting in a higher risk of injury. Additionally, prolonged sitting negatively impacts metabolism and can even affect bone density. Breaking up sedentary time with regular activity is essential for overall health and well-being.
