Which of the following is a recognized risk associated with a sedentary lifestyle?

• A. Increased energy levels
• B. Health issues
• C. Social inclusion
• D. Belonging

Answer: (B)

Lack of regular activity means the body isn’t working as it should, and over time that leads to real health problems. When energy use is low, body fat tends to rise and the systems that control blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol don’t function as well. This combination increases the risk of health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and weaker bones, and can even affect mental well-being. So, recognizing health issues as the risk reflects the real, long-term health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. The other options describe positive outcomes or social aspects rather than direct health risks from inactivity.
