Common "Physical Inactivity" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Physical Inactivity

Physical inactivity is when not moving the body for extended periods of time. This encompasses sitting or sleeping on the couch while watching TV and working at a desk or computer. Staying physically active does not require joining a gym or running a marathon. Physical activity can also raise the chance of acquiring other risk factors for heart disease, such as obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.
