Today, let\u2019s explore the reasons behind this from a scientific perspective that connects with the philosophy of yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poor Circulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u307e\u305a\u3001\u9577\u6642\u9593\u306e\u5ea7\u4f4d\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u6700\u3082\u5f71\u97ff\u3092\u53d7\u3051\u308b\u306e\u306f\u8840\u6d41\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing affected by prolonged sitting is blood circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u7279\u306b\u4e0b\u534a\u8eab\u306e\u7b4b\u8089\u304c\u52d5\u304b\u306a\u304f\u306a\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3001\u8840\u6db2\u3092\u5fc3\u81d3\u306b\u623b\u3059\u529b\u304c\u5f31\u307e\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Especially when the lower body muscles stop moving, the ability to pump blood back to the heart weakens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calves are often called \u201cthe second heart\u201d because of how important they are for circulation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but if we stay seated, this pump function stops, leading to swelling, coldness, and a slower metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often meet up with friends, and I\u2019ve noticed that quite a few of them have legs swollen with fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shallow Breathing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u6b21\u306b\u3001\u547c\u5438\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staring at screens naturally makes our breathing shallow, restricting diaphragm movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diaphragm is like a switch for the parasympathetic nervous system \u2014 the system that calms us down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When shallow breathing continues, our autonomic nervous system becomes imbalanced, putting both mind and body in constant tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The natural ability to relax quietly fades away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, if we don\u2019t use our muscles, the hormones they release (myokines) also decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just by staying inactive, our inner \u201cwill to live\u201d slowly diminishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Posture Collapse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitting for long hours worsens posture, compressing the neck and spine, and restricting blood flow to the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3053\u308c\u306b\u3088\u308a\u3001\u8133\u306f\u201c\u3053\u306e\u307e\u307e\u3067\u306f\u5371\u967a\u3060\u201d\u3068\u5224\u65ad\u3057\u3001\u4ea4\u611f\u795e\u7d4c\u3092\u5f37\u304f\u50cd\u304b\u305b\u7d9a\u3051\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The brain interprets this as danger and activates the sympathetic nervous system excessively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, we feel constantly tired or inexplicably low in mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dulled Senses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensory input to the brain drops drastically, and key areas like the prefrontal cortex and motor cortex go quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
