The scourge of the 21^st century is the sedentary lifestyle. Lack of activity is not well tolerated by the body. To plan fitness into your day is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. 

In an issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine, specialists argue that prolonged periods of sitting are truly detrimental. In addition, we should focus on the harms caused by daily inactivity rather than on the lack of regular exercise alone.

The term “sedentary behavior” has come to mean “taking no exercise” according to doctors from the Karolinska Institute and the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden.

The authors explain that the health of people who already do too little exercise will suffer even more if combined with extended bouts of sitting.

Neutralizing the effects of muscular stagnation is not that difficult. It is very important to do because it is effective at glucose control, cancer prevention, and circulation optimizer.

Good abs are not what is going to be as important as energizing for lifelong health. Restoring healthy function is paramount to stimulating your immune system.

Recent Studies

Recent research indicates that prolonged periods of sitting and lack of whole body muscular movement are strongly linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and cognitive decline.

An Australian study suggested that for every additional hour a woman sits in front of the TV, her risk of metabolic syndrome which is a precursor to diabetes and cardiovascular disease, increases by 26 percent. This is irrespective of how much moderate exercise she does.

Fight Back

Reap the benefits of boosting your non-exercise activities. Insufficient movement is the culprit, not a lack of hard core exercising. Before inertia gets a hold there is way to obtain the benefits of a non-sedentary lifestyle.

All movement counts, and that is what is missing in most peoples day to day activities.

With just small changes you could be on your road to a healthier and more productive life. The point is everything in your day takes some type of planning from your daily meals, to your bill paying.

Energetic research has a place on a health website. The future of medicine is going to be dependent on this research. While allopathic medicine takes the mechanical view of the human body, it is proving that this is not the optimal course. Energetic research centers on subtle energy. It is the scientific study of energy flows and storage.

History of This view

What is not widely understood is that this view has been studied and used for centuries. It has gotten lost in the material world of modern medicine. The allopathic view is that you can manipulate the body though the use of chemicals, and man made aids. From the earliest time man understood there were unseen forces that governed our lives. From the prospective of quantum physics there are laws that illustrate this.

Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathic medicine, Polarity Therapy, acupuncture, are based on energy flow. Charka balancing acknowledges this phenomenon. There is evidence for the effectiveness of these approaches. When you assess health and disease from an energetic perspective you bring in a new dimension. It explains things in a new and very helpful way. From the beginning healing looked at the physical manifestations of disease as an outward sign that there was disharmony in the organism.

Usefulness of This Approach

The usefulness of this approach is not understood by western medicine. It refuses to acknowledge that we are animated beings, that every organ is supported by subtle energy. When you correct bioenergy disturbances you can see that imbalances in the system are related to illness. We know that cells operate on voltage to perform. A person’s cells may have insufficient voltage (cell’s internal electric fields) to be effective. All matter is animated by subtle energy; human health is supported by this energy.

The natural direction of healing will be to utilize therapy that can amplify the natural energy of each cell. Cells will heal and function fully when their amplitude is corrected. The practical application of this will lead the way to new healing modalities. As science advances along this path the integrated model of medicine with take a leap forward.

Our view of the universe will be reflected in this change of consciousness. The future is going to be written, and our connection to this understanding will alter the course of medicine.

Physically Fit

People are so sedentary they forgot what that feels like to be energized. Inertia is caused by the conveniences of today’s society. From sitting in front of the television, computer, playing videos and parking in front of a desk all day makes body movement an activity that is reserved for limited use.

The human body was designed to be used.It is a fact that the motion produces energy through metabolic processes. In other words energy begets energy. This is what makes you feel energized. When we are not active all human functions slows down. An inactive body robs you of energy. The body in motion is what your circulation depends on it brings oxygen and distributes nutrients to the body including the brain. That is why to prevent or delay dementia exercising is recommended.

Exercise

Exercise has been shown to significantly affect health. What we are talking about is survival not just enhanced health. The mistake that most folks make is they thing hard workouts. This is a fallacy; everyday movement with some extra light exercise is the essential ingredient in being able to have enough energy to feel good. It should not be something you work at, but something that is natural. Body movement is an awkward term that denotes that we should be in motion. Everyone is energized through exercise, which is why couch potatoes have a hard time getting through the day. 

 Restarting the Engine

Remember an object at rest tends to remain at rest. The moment that you start watching one of your favorite televisions shows the process starts. The longer you stay glued to the couch the more it becomes easier and the harder it is to move. It is simply that all processes start to slow down and it is hard to restart them. The older you are the truer this seems.

People may create excuses on why they have no time to work out. They are the ones that are usually stuck on the couch. Conditioning takes many forms and has many purposes. Minimum activity is needed for you to function. There is no way around this. It is necessary at all ages. We see what is happening to the younger generation with less physical activity. Seniors are prone to the effects of a sedentary lifestyle more because it takes its toll faster.

But, in reality it is incorporating movement in the most basic forms. What ever happened to walking, stretching, cleaning, gardening, dancing, and swimming?  Now add to that mixture some strength conditioning and you have a way to become energized. Strength training is something that should be simple. You are not on your way to the Olympics. A good trainer knows how to work out your muscles without overtaxing you. Simple is best, from elastic exercise bands to a pair of weights that are just right for you.
