It has long been proven that a sedentary lifestyle is most negatively reflected on human health. With sedentary work, unwillingness to walk and engage in other physical exercises, the muscles stiffen, pinch the nerves and blood vessels, and as a result, there is a violation of the blood flow in the body, as well as the movement of the lymph.
All of the above has its negative consequences: weight gain, puffiness, sagging skin. And these manifestations can be accompanied by pain in the neck and lower back, in the legs and arms.
