If you sit on a chair for a long time or live a very closed life, it can have a devastating effect on your body and health.

Long-term sitting on a chair.Many doctors note that the problem of inactivity has increased many times during the pandemic – isolation and remote work contributed to this process. A doctor from the United States, a urological surgeon, Adam Ramin, warned in an interview that a sedentary lifestyle, which has become even more widespread, could turn into a real disaster for people's health on the scale of entire nations.

“Sedentary spending time can contribute to obesity, which seriously affects the health of the heart and spine. In addition, sitting on a chair for too long harms the urological organs,” says the doctor of medical sciences.

The doctor clarified that men may develop prostatitis and fertility problems as a result of the habit of spending many hours a day sitting.< /p>

Look at gadget screens.Another American scientist, professor of orthopedic surgery Neil Anand warns: this widespread daily habit destroys posture. When a person looks at a monitor for a long time, his shoulders tense up, his neck is fixed in the wrong position, and his spine is twisted. The consequence of constantly being in this position is excessive pressure and load on the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. As a result, there are pains in the back, from dull to sharp and sharp or debilitating.

Medication.A study by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) showed that people who take over-the-counter painkillers without consulting a doctor often mix them with other medications and do not bother to read the instructions for the drugs carefully. They also cannot recognize the signs of a drug overdose. Such a habit of self-medication is destructive for the body, experts emphasize. It can have a detrimental effect on the condition of the liver, heart, kidneys, and pancreas.

Social isolation. Doctor of Medicine Natasha Trentacosta (USA) reminds us that people are social creatures by nature, and the lack of positive social contacts (with loved ones, friends) on a regular basis destroys the psyche, forms a distorted perception of life around them. Solitude and lack of communication increase the level of cortisol (stress hormone), increases feelings of anxiety, tension, depression, and hopelessness. The expert advises always finding time to communicate, regularly calling friends and family.
