Zero Exercise

Zero exercise or very low physical activity can have multiple adverse effects on your body. Some of them include

• Weaker bones
• Obesity
• Loss of muscle mass
• Slower or compromised metabolism
• Poor blood circulation
• Inflammation in various body parts
• Lack of energy
• General depression

A timely zero exercise test can reveal the ailments your body is going through due to lack of activity. Since there is no particular test for zero exercise (you know it by yourself), there is a series of tests that can be conducted to know various facets of your current health such as your cholesterol levels through the lipid profile test, your blood glucose levels through the HbA1c test and other tests.

Zero exercise or persistent sedentary lifestyle takes hold of your life mostly unconsciously. Household activities these days don’t require much physical movement. Even to go to the nearby grocery store people use their vehicle. When they are in office or even when they are working in a factory, it is mostly computers and machines that do the job. Even when we are being entertained, we sit in front of TV instead of playing physical games. In the process we burn fewer calories. The sugar remains unconsumed. Due to inactivity the bones and muscles become weak. Cholesterol begins to get deposited in the heart arteries because there is more of it in the blood and since the heartbeat doesn’t increase much due to zero exercise, the arteries are not regularly flushed.

Additionally, zero exercise reduces lipoprotein lipase activity, protein transport activities and processes that handle muscle glucose. It also impairs lipid metabolism and diminishes carbohydrate metabolism. Some of the life-threatening diseases and ailments triggered by lack of activity or zero activity include

• Type II diabetes
• Heart disease leading to heart attack
• Coronary artery disease
• Blood pressure
• Osteoporosis (bones break easily)
• Depression and suicidal thoughts
• Stroke
• Kidney and liver diseases
• Obesity
