Right now, you're probably sitting down to watch this video
現(xiàn)在，你可能坐著看這個視頻，
and staying seated for a few minutes to view it is probably okay.
花上幾分鐘坐著看完這個視頻好像沒什么問題。
But the longer you stay put, the more agitated your body becomes.
但是你坐得越久，你的身體就越焦躁不安。
It sits there counting down the moments until you stand up again and take it for a walk.
你的身體坐著數(shù)倒計時，直到你重新站起來帶著你的身體走兩步。
That may sound ridiculous. Our bodies love to sit, right?
這聽起來可能很荒謬。我們的身體喜歡坐著，不是嗎？
Not really.
不是的。
Sure, sitting for brief periods can help us recover from stress or recuperate from exercise.
的確，短時間地坐一會能幫我們從緊張的情緒中中恢復(fù)過來，或在運動后恢復(fù)體力。
But nowadays, our lifestyles make us sit much more than we move around,
但是如今，我們的生活方式使我們坐的時間遠遠大于我們活動的時間，
and our bodies simply aren't built for such a sedentary existence.
然而我們的身體并不僅是為了久坐而構(gòu)建的。
In fact, just the opposite is true.
事實恰好相反。
The human body is built to move, and you can see evidence of that in the way it's structured.
人類的身體生來是為了運動。并且你能從人類的身體構(gòu)造的方式中找到證據(jù)。
Inside us are over 360 joints, and about 700 skeletal muscles that enable easy, fluid motion.
我們?nèi)碛谐^360個關(guān)節(jié)，還有大約700塊骨骼肌，這讓我們能夠輕松流暢地做各種動作。
The body's unique physical structure gives us the ability to stand up straight against the pull of gravity.
人類身體獨特的構(gòu)造使我們能夠?qū)沟匦囊ΓP直地立在天地之間。
Our blood depends on us moving around to be able to circulate properly.
我們的血液需要我們活動才能合理地循環(huán)。
Our nerve cells benefit from movement, and our skin is elastic, meaning it molds to our motions.
身體活動同時也會給神經(jīng)細胞帶來好處。而且我們的皮膚是有彈性的，它會隨著我們的動作而變化。
So if every inch of the body is ready and waiting for you to move, what happens when you just don't?
所以，我們身體的每一寸都準備好了并期待著你去多活動，但如果你偏偏不動，我們身體到底會發(fā)生什么事？
