What really happens to our body when you don’t exercise regularly-

Increase blood sugar level OR Diabetes

Lack of physical activity and a sedentary lifestyle can increase your blood sugar levels because it causes your muscle cells to lose their sensitivity to insulin, which controls levels of sugar in the blood.

Lowers the efficiency of the heart muscle

Any vigorous physical activity demands on your heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood to your working muscles, in turn improving cardiovascular health and a sedentary lifestyle decreases the activity of the heart muscle making it old by every passing day.

Poor's brain memory

A study published in the British Journal of sports medicine, suggests that aerobic exercises may help in improving the individual’s memory and learning skills. Regular aerobic exercise was shown to increase hippocampal volume in elderly women. This indicates a clear difference between the brains of sedentary individuals and those who exercise on a regular basis.

Sleep issues

Lack of physical activity often leads to mood disorders, interrupted sleep, insomnia, etc. Exercise triggers an increase in body temperature and then a post-exercise drop in temperature which may promote falling asleep. It also helps in dealing with insomnia to a certain extent by decreasing anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Risk of cancer

Exercising regularly reduces the risk of cancers like breast cancer which is increasing nowadays due to a sedentary lifestyle and other factors. The bottom line is to make sure you don’t increase your health issues because of a sedentary lifestyle and to live a healthy, fit, and active life, exercise on a regular basis.
