Obesity or being overweight has been widely known as one of the risk factors for diseases such as diabetes and coronary heart disease. However, there are still many who do not realize that a person's level of physical activity or inactive lifestyle is one of the major risk factors of obesity and metabolic disease. Here are 8 hazards that can occur as a result of an inactive lifestyle:


  1. It's hard to lose weight. Inactive lifestyle will lead to a fat-burning elements in our body down as much as 50%. Dr. James Levine, PhD, from the Mayo Clinic said that the key enzymes that play a role burn triglycerides (a type of fat in the body) will stop working. He further mentioned that if we sit around all day. These enzymes will soon be down as much as 50%.
  2. Difficult to sleep soundly. Paul Peppard, PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison said through the site WebMD that obesity is a major factor in sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition where there is a cessation of breathing during sleep. When the attack came, apnea sufferers have difficulty breathing even stop breathing during sleep. This is due to the barrier / obstruction of the respiratory tract when we breathe in a sleep state. Obesity results in sleep apnea because of the piles of excess fat in the neck which can inhibit the respiratory tract.
  3. Poor motor coordination. Childhood is an important time to develop motor coordination ability of someone who would later play an important role for health and fitness level. Children who are not accustomed to moving and physical activity will have the ability to motor coordination 9 times worse than the kids active. Even Dr. Luis Lopes from the University of Minho, Portugal said that inactive lifestyle in children associated with poor fitness levels, low self-esteem, decreased academic achievement, and increased risk of obesity.
  4. Vulnerable bullying. Effects active lifestyle in children is very large. Children who are inactive tend to become obese and obese. In this condition, the child will be more vulnerable to being bullied or made a joke by his friends, more precisely 63% more likely.
  5. Danger of kidney stones. A study conducted by Dr. Eric Taylor found that excess weight, high body mass index, and waist circumference were large due to an inactive lifestyle will lead to an increased risk of developing kidney stones. This increased risk was as much as 90% in women and by 33% in men.
  6. Harm to the fetus. Pregnant women who are obese and lead active lifestyles have a 3.5 times greater likelihood of having a baby with congenital abnormalities compared with pregnant women of normal weight. Even the possibility of a heart defect at birth will increase by as much as 2-fold.
  7. The decline in fertility. Doctor Jorge Chavarro of Harvard said that physical activity can improve sperm quality. Even in people who are not actively found that the number of sperm 44% less than those who are active.
  8. Shorter life. People who spend an average of 6 hours per day watching television has a life expectancy as much as 4.8 years shorter than those who do not watch television.
