1 According to the British Daily Mail, public health experts suggest that office workers should stand at least 1 hour every day, which will help prevent obesity, heart disease and even cancer. Sedentary people stand more, which is very beneficial to health.
2. Professor Kevin Fenton, the head of the British public health department, said that there are countless benefits of standing, such as improving your posture and relieving your back pain; It can accelerate your blood circulation and promote cardiovascular health; It can also improve the activity of the body and make you walk more.
3. When people are standing or in an active state, the energy required by the body increases and the heart rate will also accelerate. Generally speaking, when standing, the average heart rate will increase by 10 times per minute, and the human body can burn 0.7 kilocalories per minute. 1 hour is 50 kilocalories. Professor Fenton said that when standing, people will be more willing to walk and the chances of climbing stairs will increase.
Sitting in the office watching TV for a long time is extremely harmful to health. We need to subconsciously use other activities to interrupt this sedentary meditation state, such as standing to answer the phone, getting up to do housework, standing to watch TV and so on. Amy Thompson, a senior nurse at the British Heart Foundation, also said: The heart is the most important part of your body. Whether walking or climbing stairs, as long as it can make your heart beat faster, it will have a great impact on your body.
In order to solve the problem of sedentary, the British Public Health Bureau will issue new guidelines in June 5438+ 10 this year to promote people to really move through some small lifestyle changes. Specific measures include: walking with family members, getting off at one stop in advance when taking the bus, jogging with friends or colleagues, etc.
Extended information researchers at the University of Texas found that standing for six hours a day can reduce the risk of obesity by more than 30%, which means that standing for more than six hours may help to lose weight. The researchers investigated the standing habits of more than 7,000 people and compared their height, body mass index (BMI), body fat rate and waist circumference. The results showed that male respondents stood for 6 hours every day, and the obesity rate decreased by 32%. The standing time reached 12 hours, and the obesity rate decreased by 59%. Female respondents stood for 6 hours and 12 hours every day, and the obesity rate decreased by 35% and 47% respectively. However, if the standing time reaches 18 hours a day, it will not benefit men to lose weight, but the obesity rate of women will be reduced by 57%. The findings were published in the Mayo Clinic Journal.
