"Smoking is bad for your health. You don’t need an oxygen tank by your bedside to tell you that. Diabetes and heart disease, obviously not great, either.

But what isn’t so obvious is that a sedentary lifestyle is actually worse than all three, according to a new study led by the Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Wael Jaber.""

"These results were not drawn form a small group, either. Researchers retrospectively studied 122,007 patients who underwent exercise treadmill testing between 1991 and 2014.

“People who do not perform very well on a treadmill test,” Jaber said, “have almost double the risk of people with kidney failure on dialysis.” In fact, the risk associated with death is 500% higher for people with sedentary lifestyle than top exercise performers."
