Sedentary Behavior

Sedentary behavior refers to any activity that involves sitting or reclining and requires very little physical movement. Common examples include watching television, working on a computer, and reading. While some sedentary time is normal, excessive sitting is linked to health issues like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. It can also negatively impact mental health. Experts recommend balancing sedentary activities with regular physical activity, such as walking or exercising, to promote overall health and well-being.
