Periods of Inactivity Affect You More Than You Think

Health experts warn to keep an eye on your fitness. They say being inactive for even short periods can affect your overall health. People who reduce their daily steps to 1500 or less for just two weeks can affect an older person’s insulin sensitivity by a third, and decreases leg muscle. This is especially concerning for those 65 and over because its harder to restore muscle loss as we age which also makes it harder to return to your normal activities.
