Sedentary Jobs
⠀
⠀So why is it that we are more sedentary now than we were just 50 years ago? The main contributing factor to our increased sedentary lifestyles is technology. Technology has brought about more inactive modes of transit, caused an increase in sedentary desk jobs and has developed more activities that can be done while sitting (i.e. watching TV, surfing the web, playing video games). Overall, sedentary jobs have increased 83% since 1950 and physically active jobs now make up only about 25% of our workforce, which is 50% less than in 1950. Additionally, our average work week is longer. Americans now work 47 hours a week–164 more hours a year than 20 years ago.

Good Diet for a Sedentary Lifestyle
⠀
⠀Being sedentary is the least healthy way to live, but sometimes you aren't given a choice. Injury, illness, recovery or bed rest for high-risk pregnancy can sideline you when you don't really want to be benched. That doesn't mean you have to watch helplessly as the pounds pile on. Sticking to a plant-based diet with lean protein, whole grains and healthy fats can keep you full without filling you out.
⠀Focus on Fruits and Vegetables
⠀Fruits and vegetables are the key to a healthy sedentary diet because they're packed with nutrition while also being very low in calories. Most fruits and vegetables are high in fiber, which keeps you feeling full. Fighting hunger is important in sticking to a low-calorie diet, because if you're not sedentary by choice, frustration can lead to stress eating at the first sign of a hunger pang.

Sedentary Lifestyle Health Effects
⠀
⠀In 2005, James A. Levine, an obesity specialist at Mayo Clinic, pioneered the way for research on the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle by publishing an article in Science Magazine. Levine’s conclusion was that Any extended sitting – such as behind a desk at work or behind a wheel – can be harmful. Levine has even gone as far as labeling sitting as the disease of our time. Now I’m sure it’s no surprise that sitting behind a desk, commuting or relaxing on the couch for too many hours a day can be harmful to your health, but what you may find surprising is the extent of havoc it is causing on your body. According to an article posted by John Hopkins Medicine, physical inactivity has been shown to contribute to the following health conditions:
⠀
⠀Physical inactivity may increase the risks of certain cancers.
⠀Physical inactivity may contribute to anxiety and depression.
⠀Physical inactivity has been shown to be a risk factor for certain cardiovascular diseases.
⠀People who engage in more physical activity are less likely to develop coronary heart disease.
⠀People who are more active are less likely to be overweight or obese.
⠀Sitting too much may cause a decrease in skeletal muscle mass.
⠀Physical inactivity is linked to high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels.

What is a Sedentary Lifestyle?
⠀
⠀First, you may be wondering what we are referring to when we mention a sedentary lifestyle. A sedentary lifestyle is defined as a type of lifestyle where an individual does not receive regular amounts of physical activity. Where physical inactivity is considered the failure to meet the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), stating that an individual should participate in a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate exercise, or 75 minutes of a more vigorous regimen. Most health professionals are also in agreement that walking 10,000 steps a day (approximately 5 miles) is the ideal goal to set for improving health and reducing the health risks caused by inactivity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 60 to 85% of the population worldwide does not engage in enough activity. Making physical inactivity the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.
⠀Traditional thought suggests that having a healthy diet and getting aerobic exercise will offset the effects of time spent being sedentary. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, you may not be able to counteract the effects brought on by a lack of activity throughout the rest of your day. Rather, the solution seems to be less sitting and more moving overall, says Levine. Again, we suggest aiming for 10,000 steps a day.

Eating fiber can delay brain aging.
⠀
⠀Fiber is a key element of a healthful diet. New research breaks down the mechanism by which it can delay age-related brain inflammation.
⠀
⠀If all the studies that urge people to consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for a healthy life haven't convinced you yet to add more broccoli to your plate, perhaps this latest research will.
⠀
⠀Eating fiber-rich foods — such as broccoli, nuts, oats, beans, and whole-grain bread — might help delay brain aging by triggering the production of a short-chain fatty acid that has anti-inflammatory properties.
⠀
⠀This the main takeaway of a new study that was recently published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology.
⠀
⠀Rodney Johnson, a professor and the head of the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is the corresponding author of the study, and Stephanie M. Matt is the first author of the paper.

Why fiber is so good for you?
⠀
⠀Prof. Mann comments on the significance of the findings, saying, "The health benefits of fiber are supported by over 100 years of research into its chemistry, physical properties, physiology, and effects on metabolism."
⠀
⠀"Fiber-rich whole foods that require chewing and retain much of their structure in the gut increase satiety and help weight control and can favorably influence lipid and glucose levels," he adds.
⠀
⠀"The breakdown of fiber in the large bowel by the resident bacteria has additional wide-ranging effects including protection from colorectal cancer."

Daily intake of 25–29 grams of fiber is ideal
⠀
⠀Reynolds and colleagues examined the data included in 185 observational studies — amounting to 135 million person-years — and 58 clinical trials which recruited over 4,600 people in total. The studies analyzed took place over almost 40 years.
⠀
⠀The scientists investigated the incidence of certain chronic diseases, as well as the rate of premature deaths resulting from them.
⠀
⠀These conditions were: coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, and a range of obesity-related cancers, such as breast cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, and prostate cancer.
⠀
⠀Overall, the research found that people who consume the most fiber in their diet are 15–30 percent less likely to die prematurely from any cause or a cardiovascular condition, compared with those who eat the least fiber.
⠀
⠀Consuming foods rich in fiber correlated with a 16–24 percent lower incidence of coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer.
⠀
⠀Fiber-rich foods include whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and pulses, such as peas, beans, lentils, and chickpeas.
⠀
⠀The analysis also revealed that the amount of fiber that people should consume daily to gain these health benefits is 25–29 grams (g). By comparison, adults in the United States consume 15 g of fiber daily, on average.
