Run from Obesity

The effects of obesity on young males showed that there is a decrease in parasympathetic activity and an increase in sympathetic activity, indicating a chronic fight/flight response.

Bed Rest May Not Be Best

The ill effects of bed rest are a rapid loss of muscle and bone, reduction in cardiovascular fitness, impaired circulation, loss of respiratory capacity, and an increased incidence of depression and mental disorders.
