The
impact of sedentary behavior is not limited to an increased risk of
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, or premature births. The brain is also
affected. In addition to weakening cardiovascular and muscular health,
sedentary behavior is also toxic to the brain, especially to memory.
As
a result, in sedentary individuals, the medial temporal lobe is thinned. Even
high-intensity physical activity is not enough to counteract this phenomenon. Taking
breaks to stand up during prolonged periods of sitting is essential.
