10 Causes of Diverticulitis
Cause #3: Sedentary Lifestyle
While it is unclear if maintaining a sedentary lifestyle results in diverticulitis, it has been observed that men who sit for a minimum of 52 hours per week have a 30 percent higher risk of developing diverticulosis compared to men who sit less than 16 hours per week.
This finding has been supported by several studies. It has also been found that vigorous exercise may help to lower the risk of diverticulitis. It is recommended that individuals should have a regular exercise routine for 30 minutes every day.
