In such a situation, Tanya Khanna, a nutritionist and yoga trainer in ALYVE Health located in Mumbai, is telling how bad the sedantry lifestyle is affecting the health of women?
These problems can be caused by sedentary lifestyle:
Problems related to hormonal imbalance and period: Inactive lifestyle slows down metabolism in the body, causing hormonal imbalance. This can cause problems like irregular periods, PCOs, thyroid problems and mood swings.

Negative effects on mental health: Stable lifestyle can cause depression, anxiety, and a decrease in confidence. Physical activity activates not only the body but also the brain and promotes positive hormones
Sleep starts to decrease: Due to lack of physical activity, the amount of sleep hormone decreases, which hinders sleep. Lack of sleep increases hormonal disturbances and fatigue even more
Reduction in fertility: Women who remain inactive for a long time may deteriorate the balance of hormones associated with fertility. It can cause difficulty in conception
