My Muscles Are Atrophying

By lilcaramelcutie September 03, 2020 6 answers Last updated September 03, 2020

Hello, I am a 20-year-old boy and I lead an extremely stagnant lifestyle. I don't eat properly, I don't exercise, I don't move. I'm too lazy to do anything. I stay in bed all day looking at my phone. I don't even stand in front of the computer, but on the bed. I'm even tired of lying down now. I get tired quickly, catch muscle fever even with the lightest exercise, and feel tense even when I wave my fists in the air. A healthy person would not have such problems. In general, if laziness was a disease, I would be seriously ill from it. Now I will be a student for the second time (this spring I took a break), but I am worried that the same thing will happen again as in my previous specialty, because I am too lazy to study. In general, I am a complete failure from everywhere. I have no physical energy for anything. I can't go to the gym because I'm very skinny and I'm ashamed, I can not start a diet because I do not want to lose weight (I am 1, 85 m tall and weigh 82 kg.) What to do? I don't feel well physically or mentally. Thanks in advance, I ask the editors to publish the topic.

   Like depression. And do you go out in the sun? Sunlight helps with many things - especially the generation of serotonin from tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid that is converted to serotonin under the influence of light or to melatonin (a sleeping hormone) in the absence of light. Another thing that helps is the creation of vitamin D in the skin. And vitamin D helps raise testosterone levels - the hormone that will keep your muscles. In general, start going out in the sun, running and playing sports. You put on the tank top for the weekend before noon and go for a run, no matter how much you don't want to. You run until you reach the so-called runner's high. At first you will not run, then you will run a little more, and finally you will not stop and you will want to continue. Running releases endorphins. We humans have spent hundreds of thousands of years chasing game,

   Hello, for me this shows that you do not eat well and enough calories. When the body does not receive the necessary nutrients, the brain gives you a hormonal signal not to do unnecessary actions with which to waste energy and nutrients and you become lethargic. Many people will not understand this and will accuse and scold you as they edify you to tighten up and the like. My advice is to start training lightly with exercises with your own body, then fitness, running and whatever you want and start eating more and better, it will have a very positive and motivating effect. And look at things positively, don't scold, you don't compete with anyone but yourself, if you're better tomorrow and ahead of today, then you're OK, if you do it every day and a little effort, the effect builds up, the important thing is to start somewhere, to decide, and that's the hard part.

   Why do you stay in you all day at this age? Go to work or if yours is watching you and you are not uncomfortable, at least go out with friends.

   Well, someone has to kick you in the ass very hard to move and get out of bed. I don't know what advice you want, find a job, study, find a hobby, a friend, ride a bike, walk in nature, do you have any goals at all? If you don't help yourself, no one can do it. You are not a failure, because if you want everything in your life, it can be very different!

   Nothing is lost. Just get out and start walking. So, you get up, you lie down, but without thinking, you get up, put on something for 1 minute and start walking. The workouts will come later, leave them for now. Put on the phone a device for counting the steps and make in the morning 6-7 thousand, not so much. Try to have at least 10-12 thousand a day and you will be reborn, I guarantee you. Success!
