Dangerous than two weeks without physical activity?
Source:the human body depends on the level of physical activity
What do you think, is there enough active way of life are the majority of people on Earth? According to (who), an adult to maintain health requires at least 150 minutes of moderately intense exercise per week. However, recent studies have shown that every fourth adult is not pursuing an active lifestyle. Computer and rare walks on the opinion of experts can be even more harmful to health than previously thought. According to the results of the last , which focused on the effect of physical activity on the human body, 14 days without exercise threaten the development of cardiovascular diseases.
how dangerous a sedentary lifestyle?
For anybody not a secret that physical activity is good for health. In 1950-ies the relationship between everyday physical activity and health have been identified in the London transport. The results showed that bus drivers often suffered a heart attack than their counterparts conductors. The main difference between the two groups was the fact that the conductors spent their working day on their feet, collecting the fare from passengers and bus drivers — sitting. Since physical activity is considered to be the "magic bullet" from . However, modern society is more sedentary than ever before in the history of, and mortality from cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide.
Need to care about the health of the heart and vessels
For this reason, the researchers wanted to find out what consequences await those who neglect physical activity. For research assistants attracted young subjects (aged 18 to 50 years), no excess weight (BMI less than 30) and also (this means that on average the subjects make more than 10K steps a day). Conducting assessments to measure the state of blood vessels, control of blood sugar levels and overall health scientists asked subjects to conduct an inactive way of life within two weeks. To do this, participants were asked not to exceed 1500 steps a day. Two weeks later, the researchers reassessed the condition of blood vessels, blood sugar levels and overall health subjects to determine what effect they have had two weeks of inactivity. The researchers then asked the subjects to resume the old way of life. Two weeks later, the researchers tested markers of health research participants to find out whether back health indicators to the starting point before the study began.
Researchers found that after two weeks without physical activity of the subjects have observed a decrease in the function of the arteries. To measure this the researchers used the technique of visualization, called a dilation of the duct. It measures how well the arteries dilate and constrict. Thus, it was found that at the beginning of the development of cardiovascular disease affected . In addition, the results revealed increased risk of diabetes, weight gain and insulin sensitivity. However, the most important result of the work of scientists is that after two weeks of lack of physical activity, the health status of the subjects did not return to baseline before the start of the study.
How to keep your heart healthy?
The results indicate that the negative impact on health in real terms can even provide a beach holiday for two weeks or the flu. In other words, the health of the heart is compromised in the absence of moderate physical activity. But is it possible to fix the situation? According to experts, small changes in everyday life can have a significant impact on the health — both positive and negative. People should be encouraged to increase physical activity in any way possible, because simply increasing daily physical activity can bring tangible benefits.
walk in the fresh air
You can go out for a daily ten minute walk at lunchtime, do not sit for 8 hours during the working day, Park away from the house or supermarket to walk. We already told you about the harmful health, so if you still neglect their health and don't take the time to physical activity, it's time to change that.
