Weight loss question 22: Does standing help to lose weight?

Answer: Yes, it is easier to lose weight standing than sitting!

Because when people stand, the heat consumed per minute is 1000 calories! God, I'm surprised that standing can consume so much! It turns out that standing consumes energy through the following aspects!

1. When people stand, the spine bears part of the pressure, and the muscles also share part of the pressure! This is not only good for cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, but also increases the consumption of calories because of the sharing of muscles!

2. When standing, it is difficult for blood to flow back to the heart due to gravity. In order to promote blood flow, the body will help push blood back to the heart through the elasticity of muscles. In this process, the body also consumes energy!

In order to help blood flow back to the heart against gravity, the body will speed up the heart rate. When standing, the heart rate will be 10 times faster than when sitting. Every heartbeat will consume energy and burn some extra energy!

4. Finally, chest movements are smoother when standing, and oxygen intake can be more adequate than when sitting! The more oxygen enters, the faster the metabolism and the higher the fat burning rate!

So, if you want to be healthy and thin, stand for an hour every day!
