Chronic Inactivity Leads to Chronic Disease

Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and various cancers are major killers today, and physical inactivity is a leading cause of these conditions.

Physical activity is a powerful prevention tool against 35 chronic conditions, ranging from obesity and heart disease to anxiety and osteoporosis. Long-term inactivity can worsen risk factors for these diseases.

Public policies and practitioner protocols should address the disease-promoting effects of a sedentary lifestyle and offer simple and effective remedies.
