Prolonged sitting has a direct physical impact on your body. When you sit for a long time, your body's metabolism slows down, reducing the efficiency at which your body burns calories and uses sugar. This can lead to weight gain, increased blood pressure, and a higher risk of several health issues including diabetes and heart disease.
