What price are you willing to pay for the luxury of staying in your comfort zone? What affect is this having on your life and those who you share your life with? If you are feeling resistant to change ask yourself why? are you willing to risk your health? 30 minutes a day going for a walk is all it takes, it really is that simple. But I don't have time I hear some of you scream at the screen. Well make time, it may just save your life. I often used to think that working as a nurse in A & E. Many of the illnesses and DEATHS could have been avoided, if that person whose life had just ended prematurely had MADE time. Got up 30 minutes earlier, went to bed 30 minutes later. There are always solutions to our challenges. Don't take your health for granted, you and yours deserve the best.
10 Health Issues You May Suffer If You Remain Sedentary
Anxiety
Just as exercise raises levels of endorphins (feel-good hormones) in the blood – creating a sense of euphoria and relaxation – a lack of exercise can lead to feelings of anxiety. It’s not purely a physiological effect, but also has an emotional root, as not exercising can leave us feeling unfit and slovenly

Depression
Studies have shown that exercise can be very effective in combating depression – in some cases more so than medication. Conversely, a lack of exercise can cause or exacerbate depression, because we need physical activity to promote brain growth and connectivity, and when we’re sedentary this is subdued.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
When we sit for long periods of inactivity, our circulation becomes sluggish. When the circulation to our lower legs is poor, we’re at greater risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – a deep-set blood clot which can potentially travel to the lungs causing pulmonary embolism (PE), which can be fatal.This is a serious condition, and you can help prevent it by exercising regularly.
Diabetes
Because a lack of exercise can lead, in turn, to excessive weight gain, having too much of a sedentary lifestyle can result in the development of diabetes.The progressive disease can be triggered by obesity, whereas keeping active can reduce your risk of developing diabetes.

Being very inactive reduces the action of all the major organs, from the brain to the circulatory system and the digestive tract. When the bowel becomes very sluggish, we are more predisposed to developing cancer of the colon
Cardiovascular disease
A healthy cardiovascular system is reliant on regular exercise, which encourages good circulation, healthy blood pressure and an efficiently working heart. A lack of exercise makes the cardiovascular system sluggish, which can result in heart disease and stroke.
Kidney stones
Inactivity encourages the bones to leak calcium into the blood, and calcium is one of the components of kidney stones. Having a sedentary lifestyle is one of the factors that can predispose you to this uncomfortable condition. Keeping active will encourage bone strength and prevent a calcium build-up in the blood.

High blood pressure
In order to maintain a healthy blood pressure, we need to exercise often. As we put our bodies under the temporary stress of exercise, we’re exercising our hearts and entire cardiovascular system, making it more efficient. Obesity is also linked to high blood pressure (hypertension), so exercising regularly can help to maintain a healthy weight and, in turn, a healthy blood pressure.

Obesity
Sitting down for long periods throughout the day encourages weight gain, as we take in more calories than we expend. Over time, the weight can creep up almost imperceptibly until, eventually, obesity can set in. Obesity carries its own health risks, including heart disease, diabetes and hypertension, so it’s important to burn calories by exercising regularly.

Osteoporosis
This brittle-bone disease occurs more often in people who don’t exercise. Bone density is improved by regular weight-bearing exercise, and a sedentary lifestyle – especially in women after the menopause – can result in osteoporosis. This makes us more vulnerable to broken bones and bone infection. Also, inactivity encourages the bones to leach calcium into the blood, and bones need plenty of calcium to remain strong.
