This great illustration comes from the study Physical Inactivity as the Culprit of Metabolic Inflexibility. In short, physical inactivity leads to decreased clearance of cholesterol from the blood, a shift towards hyperinsulinemia and glucose as main energy substrate, increased fat deposition, and diffuse insulin resistance.
This goes in line with the blog post from a couple of weeks ago that showed decreased lipase activity with just a simple change from standing to sitting.
Get up and move! Find your inner athlete!
