Читать книгу 100 Ways to Boost Your Energy - Theresa Cheung, Theresa Cheung - Страница 14

A lifestyle that is inactive or sedentary can have a negative affect on your digestive system and reduce your respiratory capacity, place strain on your heart and cardiovascular system, and cause loss of muscle mass and stamina. On top of all that, a sedentary lifestyle can dull your powers of concentration, and if you spend too much time indoors you won’t be getting the oxygen energising benefits of fresh air.

To find out if your lifestyle is too sedentary, answer the following questions:

 Is your life so busy that you haven’t got time to exercise?

 Is your favourite hobby channel-surfing from the couch?

 Do you circle the parking lot for 5 minutes instead of parking in the first spot you see and taking a 5-minute walk?

 Do you spend most of the day at your desk or indoors?

 When you sit down do you slump almost immediately?

If there is more than one ‘yes’ answer, your lifestyle may be the cause of your energy roller-coaster and you should pay special attention to the boosting energy with exercise tips on pages 92–109.
