1. We are sure that the most frequent answer to our question about how lack of movement affects the body is overweight. Yes, physical activity is directly and indirectly related to body weight: by moving you burn energy, at the same time you increase your muscle mass, which in turn increases your basal metabolism.

2. If overweight is a breeding ground for diabetes and lack of movement causes overweight, then logically it follows that physical passivity reduces the body's ability to fight diabetes.

3. Do you have digestive problems? Maybe you have it from lack of movement. Intestines also need physical activity, it helps for example prevent constipation. But a hearty workout can also help you in acute cases when  this health problem is currently present in you.

4. Even osteoporosis can be a consequence of lack of movement. Especially in those who had a physically passive lifestyle in childhood. So, although there are some risks of injury in sports, its lack means increased risk of fractures.

5. Stress causes various health problems, and regular sport can be an excellent way to relieve stress. Moreover sport releases happiness hormones, so it also affects your current mental state.
