Winter Laziness: Beware of Serious Health Risks from Reduced Movement

• Winter often leads to increased laziness and reduced physical activity, which can negatively impact health.
• Ayurveda warns that insufficient activity (Heen Yoga) is a root cause of disease, leading to imbalances in Vata and Kapha doshas.
• Lack of movement weakens metabolism, increases fat accumulation, and raises the risk of obesity and diabetes.
• Prolonged sitting can cause arthritis, joint pain due to stiffness in bones and muscles, and continuous immobility of joints.
• Reduced physical activity increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, anxiety, digestive disorders, and weakened immunity.

Why It Matters: Combat winter laziness; reduced physical activity can lead to serious health issues like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
