Скачать или смотреть Negative Effects of Prolonged Sitting for Adults Over 60 And How to Reverse the Damage

This video, presented by Dr. Sarah Chen, is about the negative effects of prolonged sitting, particularly for adults over 60, and how to reverse the damage.

Dr. Chen explains that sitting for long periods can lead to:

Accelerated aging at a cellular level Telomeres, protective caps on DNA, shorten at double the normal rate when sitting for more than 8 hours a day, making cells appear 8 years older [03:51:19].

Muscle loss (sarcopenia) Prolonged sitting doubles the rate of muscle mass loss and deactivates large muscles like the glutes and quadriceps [05:01:06].

Brain shrinkage and cognitive decline Sitting can lead to thinner brain regions critical for memory, decreased blood flow to the brain, and an increased risk of dementia [08:40:08].

Metabolic shutdown Prolonged sitting slows metabolism, reduces fat-burning enzymes, and decreases insulin sensitivity [02:02:18].
