Sedentary lifestyle

A lifestyle characterized by sitting or remaining inactive for most of the day (for example, sitting in front of the TV all day.) It is believed to be a factor in obesity, and, in turn, may contribute to other diseases, such as type II diabetes, heart disease, depression, and even hemorrhoids.
