A sedentary lifestyle involves little physical activity and is linked to negative health outcomes like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. It can affect both adults and children. While work life contributes to inactivity, making small active choices like taking stairs or walking on breaks can help offset this. Guiding children towards healthier eating and exercise is important to prevent obesity and related conditions.

A A sedentary lifestyle is a mode of living in which a person, an adult or
child, does not engage in sufficient physical activity or exercise for what is generally considered healthy living. The term is often used by doctors or professionals within the medical community to describe a lifestyle among many people in highly developed countries that does not afford them opportunities for physical activity. This type of living has been heavily influenced by passive forms of entertainment such as television, video games, and computer use. Along with such inactive types of entertainment, shifting of large numbers of adult workers from physical labor to office jobs has also increased the tendency for many people, especially in technologically developed nations, toward a sedentary lifestyle. B Numerous studies conducted by doctors and researchers have indicated a variety of negative impacts on a persons life due to living a sedentary lifestyle. Most common among them is increased weight gain and obesity and the accompanying health problems they can cause, such as heart disease, diabetes, and increased chances of certain types of cancer. Lack of exercise can also have a negative impact on a persons immune system, which can create the possibility for even more negative health consequences. C Living a sedentary lifestyle is not necessarily synonymous with laziness, since a person can be very busy with work and family but without inherent opportunities to exercise. Someone who works at a computer in an office, typically driving or riding in a motor vehicle to and from work, and coming home afterward to watch television or sit in front of a computer once more is likely to stay busy but still not find ways to remain physically active. This means it can be critically important for people who work in these types of careers to find other opportunities for exercise or physical activity. D Finding ways to get exercise or other physical activity throughout the day, even for someone who works in an office or drives all day, is often an essential part of breaking free from a sedentary lifestyle. This can include walking, running, or performing other exercises during breaks and lunchtime as well as finding opportunities for exercise throughout the day. Practices like using the stairs instead of an elevator, parking farther from work to have to walk a bit more each day, and exercising legs and arms even while sitting at a desk are all excellent ways for someone to increase his or her physical activity. E The sedentary lifestyle and its problems are not restricted to workers and adults. Young children and adolescents can live a sedentary way of living which can become habits. Habits formed during the adolescent years can follow a person for his entire life, so becoming sedentary at a young age could lead to a less active lifestyle as he ages. A lack of activity is generally associated with further obesity problems, which is one of the reasons that obesity can be a problem throughout a person's life. F Obesity can lead to complications. Childhood obesity and diabetes are two conditions that are common around the world. Research has found that one of the major risk factors to the development of diabetes in children is obesity. Therefore, it is important for children who are diagnosed with obesity to start a diet and exercise program aimed at decreasing the risks of both of these conditions. G As stated above, studies have shown that childhood obesity and diabetes are closely linked to excessive calorie intake and a lack of physical activity. Luckily, decreasing calorie intake among children and increasing the amount of physical activity that they participate in can likewise result in a decrease in the rates of both childhood obesity and diabetes. Children who suffer from either of these should be encouraged by their parents, teachers, and doctors to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, choose lean meats and whole grain foods, and avoid fats whenever possible. In addition, they should be counseled to participate in a physical activity program that will aid in increasing calorie burn over the course of the day.
