Lethargy from Stress Can Affect Mobility as You Grow Older

in Anti-Aging on 10/11/19

One huge aspect of stress is that it often brings on depression. When you get depressed or stressed out, you’ll find yourself frequently spending a great deal of time sedentary.

You’ll want to be alone and spend a lot more time in bed or on the couch. You’ll become lethargic and won’t want to go out and do things, because you’ll be more comfortable staying at home.

However, as comfortable as that might be, lethargy can have some serious long term effects on your mobility. Staying stagnant each passing day can cause your joints to deteriorate over time, meaning that as you grow older, your knees and elbows will start to function worse.

This can make it even harder to get out and be mobile, meaning that it’s a self-supporting cycle. By ceasing all activity, you’re forcing yourself into a cycle of inactivity in which you continue to let your body deteriorate over time.

You’ll find that simple tasks like walking up stairs or moving around in general are painful and more difficult than they were before. This can make you even more stressed and depressed, and make you move even less, only furthering the impact that it has on you.

The only way to prevent this is to remain active even through stressful times. Many people have found that for them, going to the gym and doing some exercise is therapeutic.

It’s definitely possible that working out can give you an outlet for your stress, while also ensuring that you will remain healthy in the future, so give it a try. Even if the stress remains despite your best efforts to exercise, don’t stop there.

As long as you’re getting physical activity in some way, you’re going to be at least maintaining your body for the long run. While your stress might be temporary, the damage that you can do to your body by being lethargic is permanent.

If the gym doesn’t feel right for you, find something else. It could be a recreational sport, going hiking, or just taking a bike ride around the neighborhood. Whatever works best for you to maintain some kind of activity is the right thing for you.

If you’re not enjoying what you’re doing, you’re only going to get more stressed out and do more damage to your body. Don’t try to force yourself into situations that you don’t want to be in.
