       | Conclusions/interpretation: A short-term reduction in physical
       | activity with increased sedentary behaviour _leads to a
       | reversible reduction_ in multi-organ insulin sensitivity and
       | cardiorespiratory fitness, with concomitant increases in central
       | and liver fat and dyslipidaemia.

       | aches and I tire easily. I feel like an old man and I'm now only
       | 27. I began to have what I assume is Restless Leg Syndrome after
       | a few months. I hope that this horrible lifestyle will not burden
       | me with lasting unforeseen health problems even when I begin to
       | exercise and live again.
