Title: Sedentary Lifestyle and Heart Disease – The Hidden Risk
How Inactivity Affects the Heart
Modern lifestyles involve long hours of sitting, desk jobs, screen time, and reduced physical activity. Unfortunately, inactivity significantly increases the risk of heart disease.
According to Dr. Girish Kale, a sedentary lifestyle contributes to obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and poor circulation — all major cardiac risk factors.
Health Risks of Physical Inactivity
- Weight gain and obesity
