Living a sedentary lifestyle has become a norm for most of us. The truth is we spend most of our days sitting. Whether in an office, working from home, commuting or just relaxing on the couch scrolling through social media, most of us are barely up and moving like we should be. But one thing we need to know is that the sedentary lifestyle we have adopted has dire health consequences. Prolonged sitting can lead to adverse outcomes. Have a look at some of the hidden dangers of sitting too long; Loss of strength and flexibility When you sit for too long, your muscles and joints remain stationary, which can result in a loss of strength and flexibility due to inactivity. Prolonged periods of sitting in a chair can also lead to passive back muscle stiffness. Increased risk of chronic diseases Remaining in a sedentary position for too long hinders your muscles' ability to regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels. This results in chronic inflammation, which is linked with health issues and chronic diseases like diabetes, certain types of cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Weight gain Sitting too long can also increase your risk of gaining weight. Research shows that sedentary behavior is linked to increased cases of obesity. Moving your muscles helps your body digest the fats and sugars you eat. When you spend too long sitting, digestion becomes inefficient, and you retain those fats and sugars as fat in your body. Some would argue that they counter weight gain risk by exercising. The unfortunate thing is that you are, however, risking health problems like metabolic syndrome. Mental health effects Too much sitting has been directly linked to mental health struggles. Research shows that a sedentary lifestyle of sitting for more than eight hours a day can increase the risk of developing depression and anxiety. When you are physically active, your brain releases serotonin, which helps boost your mood. Less movement means less serotonin is released, contributing to depression. Back strain A seated position stresses your back muscles, neck, and spine. It even gets worse when you slouch. Getting an ergonomic chair is a good idea, but remember, no matter how comfortable you get, your back still does not need long sitting sessions. Deep vein thrombosis Sitting for too long can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which refers to the blood clot that forms in the veins of your leg. DVT can be severe, especially when part of a blood clot in the leg vein breaks off and travels, cutting off the blood flow to other parts of the body like lungs, resulting in pulmonary embolism. This is a medical emergency that can result in significant complications or even death. Combat the Perils of Prolonged Sitting That was a whole lot of not-so-great news. But the good news is that you can counter some of these adverse effects. Some practical tips include; · Walk or cycle, and leave the car at home · Walk to a colleague's desk instead of emailing or calling · Take the stairs and walk up the escalators · Take a walk break during your coffee or tea break · Watch TV while standing Are you already suffering the effects of sitting too long? All hope is not lost. Chiropractic treatment will help you in your recovery journey. The first step is to diagnose any effects like health issues and mental illness. We will then focus on spinal adjustment where our experienced chiropractors will offer gentle, hands-on adjustments to help release the tension caused by compressed nerves. We will then walk you through better schedules to reduce sitting for long and combat the perils of prolonged sitting. For more guidance on the hidden dangers of sitting for too long and how to combat the perils of prolonged sitting, contact Dr Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC.

We know that things change as we get older. We see a change in the redundancy of the physiological system leading to less reserve and more vulnerability to disease and other issues. While these changes DO happen, many of them happen VERY slowly. But in some older adults, these changes seem sped up! What is the culprit? Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour!

Did you know that worldwide, more than one in four adults (28% or 1.4 billion) are physically inactive? In some countries, it’s as high as one in three! How many more times do we need to be reminded that physical inactivity is one of the leading risk factors for global mortality before we finally decide to get off the couch? On this week’s episode, Prof Fiona Bull MBE (T: @fiona_bull) joins BJSM’s Daniel Friedman (T: @ddfriedman) to discuss the latest physical activity trend data and explain how clinicians can play their part to increase levels of physical activity for a more active world. Prof Bull is the Programme Manager in the Department of Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) at the World Health Organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. She leads the WHO’s global work on physical inactivity, healthy eating and the prevention of obesity, and provides leadership for global monitoring and surveillance of NCDs and their risk factors. Bull joined WHO in 2017 after 25 years in applied research in Australia, the UK and the USA. Her recent positions include Professor of Public Health and Director of the Centre for Built Environment and Health at the University of Western Australia and Professor of Sports Science and Director of National Centre of Physical Activity at Loughborough University in the UK. Bull has co-authored over 180 scientific publications and reports. Her interest is in bridging the knowledge-policy-practice gap, and she has been actively involved in civil society. She is immediate past President of the International Society of Physical Activity. In 2014, Bull was awarded a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for her services to public health. In this 15 minute conversation, Prof Bull addresses: · Physical inactivity trends over the past 16 years · The causes of physical inactivity · What the WHO is doing to support countries increase physical activity · What clinicians can do to play their part Further reading: Guthold R, Stevens GA, Riley LM, Bull FC.

Diagnosed: 23.1 million people Undiagnosed: 7.2 million people Prevalence of diabetes among different age groups Age 18-44 years: 4.6 million Age 45-64 years: 14.3 million Age 65 years or older: 12.0 milion Men: 15.3 million Women: 14.9 million *This total included: 132,000 children and adolescents younger than age 18 years (0.18% of the total U.S. population younger than age 18 years). 193,000 children and adolescents younger than age 20 years (0.24% of the total U.S. population younger than age 20 years). About 5% of people with diabetes are estimated to have type 1 diabetes. Prevalence of diabetes by race/ethnicity among people 20 years or older The prevalence was higher among Native Americans/Alaska Natives (15.1%), non-Hispanic blacks (12.7%), and people of Hispanic ethnicity (12.1%) than among non-Hispanic whites (7.4%) and Asians (8.0%) Among people of Hispanic ethnicity, Mexicans had the highest prevalence (13.8%), followed by Puerto Ricans (12.0%), Cubans (9.0%), and Central/South Americans (8.5%) Among Asians, Asian Indians had the highest prevalence (11.2%), followed by Filipinos (8.9%), and Chinese (4.3%). Other Asian groups had a prevalence of 8.5% Prevalence varied significantly by education level, which is an indicator of socioeconomic status. Specifically, 12.6% of adults with less than a high school education had diagnosed diabetes versus 9.5% of those with a high school education and 7.2% of those with more than a high school education Prevalence of Prediabetes An estimated 33.9% of U.S. adults aged 18 years or older (84.1 million people) have prediabetes, based on their fasting glucose or A1C level. Nearly half (48.3%) of adults aged 65 years or older had prediabetes. Among adults with prediabetes, 11.6% reported being told by a health professional that they had this condition. Age-adjusted data indicated that more men (36.6%) than women (29.3%) had prediabetes. Prevalence of prediabetes was similar among racial and ethnic groups. Risk Factors for Complications Smoking: 15.9% of adults are current smokers, and 34.5% had quit smoking but had a history of smoking at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. Overweight and Obesity: 87.5% of adults were overweight or obese, defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or higher. Physical Inactivity: 40.8% of adults were physically inactive, defined as getting less than 10 minutes a week of moderate or vigorous activity in each of the physical activity categories of work, leisure time, and transportation. High Blood Pressure: 73.6% of adults had systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher, or they were on prescription medication for high blood pressure. High Cholesterol (Hyperlipidemia): 58.2% of adults aged 21 years or older with no self-reported cardiovascular disease but who were eligible for statin therapy were on a lipid-lowering medication. 66.9% of adults aged 21 years or older with self-reported cardiovascular disease who were thus eligible for statin therapy were on a lipid-lowering medication. High Blood Glucose (Hyperglycemia): • 15.6% of adults had an A1C value higher than 9%. Complications of Diabetes: Amputations More than 60 percent of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations in the United States occur among people with diabetes. Nearly 82,000 non-traumatic lower-limb amputations are performed among people with diabetes each year. Non-Hispanic blacks are 2.7 times as likely to suffer from lower-limb amputations as non-Hispanic whites. Kidney Disease Among U.S. adults aged 20 years or older with diagnosed diabetes, the estimated crude prevalence of chronic kidney disease (stages 1–4) was 36.5%. Among those with diabetes and moderate to severe kidney disease (stage 3 or 4), 19.4% were aware of their kidney disease. Approximately 53,000 people develop end-stage renal disease with diabetes as the primary cause each year. Preventing Diabetes Complications A podiatric physician, a doctor focusing on the treatment of diabetic foot and ankle conditions, plays an integral role in a diabetes management team. Diabetes can affect many parts of the body and can lead to serious complications such as blindness, kidney damage, and lower-limb amputations. Working together, people with diabetes and their health care providers, such as a podiatric physician, can reduce the occurrence of these and other diabetes complications. Comprehensive foot care programs can reduce amputation rates by 45 percent to 85 percent. Research in the United States and abroad has found that lifestyle changes can prevent or delay the onset of type II diabetes among high-risk adults. Lifestyle interventions included diet and moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking for 2.5 hours each week. My Clinical Experience As you many know by now, I’ve been practicing medicine for over 20 years, and in that time I have seen thousands of diabetic patients. My practice is specialized to focus on diabetic care and to prevent diabetic limb loss and amputations. I have discovered that most of my patients are not educated much about how to prevent complications of diabetes or how to reverse diabetes by their primary care physicians. I spend much of my time educating my patients about diabetes, what they should and should not be eating (and it’s not just about table sugar), how they can start to lose the stubborn weight and bloated belly by making a few simple changes in their daily routines, and how to save their eyes, kidneys, and feet from the damage that diabetes can do. My passion is to help pre-diabetics, borderline diabetics, women who have been diagnosed with prenatal diabetes (research has found this to be a precursor to type II diabetes), and people who have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance, reverse their diagnosis and prevent full blown type II diabetes from taking over their lives. If you have any of these conditions or type II diabetes and would like to discuss how we can work together to prevent or reverse diabetes, schedule a free consultation with me so we can dive deeper to find out what is going on and come up with a plan of action for you: drmichele.com/schedule P.S.

America has a weight problem. A full one third of us are classified as obese, and other third are obese. This has implications for individuals, families and society that cut across social and economic factors. We take a look at a handful of studies that take a look at the weight problem from a variety of angles. Metabolic rate, BMI, whole grain intake,physical inactivity, and more.

Welcome to the podcast review of JISAKOS volume 1, issue 4. See full issue here: http://jisakos.bmj.com/content/1/4 Social Media Editor, Peter D. Fabricant, MD, MPH, reviews this issue, including the introductory Editorial by Editor-in-Chief Prof. Niek van Dijk, MD, PhD, which focuses on the diathesis between increased physical activity that might cause the typical “wear and tear” of osteoarthritis as it contrasts to the health benefits of physical exercise, including those benefits to the joints. See Editorial here: http://jisakos.bmj.com/content/1/4/183 Other topics include neuromuscular balance training to prevent ankle sprains, state of the art reviews on knee osteoarthritis and stress fractures in football (soccer), and a review of the classic 1908 article by Stieda in which the post-traumatic Pellegrini-Stieda lesion on the medial aspect of the knee was first described.
Accumulating Evidence suggests that sitting and excessive physical inactivity are direct causes of obesity and type 2 diabetes. How has the modern sedentary lifestyle affected our health, as individuals and as a society, and what can we do to change the course?
