Not being active is very detrimetal to the human body, whereas exercising regularily can improve all functions. First of all, there is a saying "Use it or lose it" which applies really well when it comes to movement. Human beings are made for walking and running, our anatomical structure supports this idea and being sedentary can have drastic effects such as increased risk of heart failure. In the XXIst century it is very hard to neglect this aspect but muscles that are not put to work, will soon atrophy. What is more, it has been proven that sitting down for long periods of time such as most jobs nowadays require, actually reduces lifespan with a couple of years and damages good circulation. Some people have come up with a solution for this: the treadmill desk or standing up desk which is nothing more than a regular desk that replaces the chair with a treadmill. This invention provides a good way to stay in shape. Furthermore, building strong muscles can help the body sustain itself better and improves regular tasks such as digestion and breathing, not to mention the incredible psychological effect that it has by releasing endorphins in the bloodstream. To conclude, moving is essential to staying healthy both physically and mentally which is crucial to leading a good life from all points of view.
