Oh what a tangled web...

"Think of your body as a PC. The moment you wake up, it starts launching applications, etc. As long as you're tapping away and clicking the mouse, it keeps buzzing. If it sits idle, what happens? The screen darkens and the machine lowers its activity into power save mode...right? Your body is the same!! Inactivity research--a new body of science exploring our sedentary lives--shows that when you sit for a few hours, your body starts to shut down at the metabolic level! Fat burning enzymes, such as LPL, which are responsible for breaking down triglycerides in your bloodstream, simply start switching off. Sit for a full day, and LPL activity plummets by 50%.

As your body falls deeper into energy conservation mode, your circulation slows, your digestion becomes sluggish, and your calorie burning metabolism dims to a flicker! That's why it is hard to lose weight or maintain it, no matter how much you ride.

All that sitting is making us fat, unhealthy, achy, and sad. Researchers say that diabetes, depression, cancer, alzheimer's, and heart disease chances are boosted incredibly by sitting all day!

'The human body has evolved over years to stand and walk and live on the move...when you sit all day, you are doing something completely opposite of what you are designed to do. That's like hammering nails with a cellphone, failure is inevitable.'"

The above excerpt was taken from the latest edition of Bicyling Magazine...and this doesn't even take into account the problems inactivity places on the body's ability to move! Throw that into the mix, and no wonder there are so many problems in today's society!!!!!
