If your job requires you to sit for long hours, it’s time to rethink your health habits. A sedentary lifestyle can have serious consequences, and sitting continuously for more than six hours can take a toll on your body.
Dr. Manjusha Agarwal, senior consultant in internal medicine at Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai, warns that prolonged sitting can negatively impact overall well-being. It slows down metabolism, increases the risk of excessive weight gain, and may lead to obesity. Without regular movement, your body struggles to burn calories efficiently, making weight loss more difficult.
To maintain better health, taking regular breaks, stretching, and incorporating physical activity into your daily routine is essential.
