Watch out, Sit Too Old Make You Fat

Want to be free of back pain and reduce the risk of heart disease? It's easy, do not sit too long. Hours and hours of sitting on the bench to actually like 'kill' you slowly.

Many studies have shown that sitting all day, can significantly damage the health. By forcing the body, which is designed to move, sit all day, can weaken the muscles. Including slow metabolism, increasing the risk of heart disease and even shorten your life.

"Sitting is very harmful for health as well as smoking," said Marc Hamilton, Ph.D., a microbiologist at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, as quoted from Health.com.

Sitting also make weight will continue to rise significantly. That's because, when you put your butt on a chair, your metabolism slows down immediately. The trigger is an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase, which is in the blood vessels in your muscles.

"Lipoprotein lipase capture and burn fat in the blood. When you are standing, postural muscles will support the weight, especially in the feet, releasing enzymes that work to burn fat. But when sitting still and not move every 30 to 90 seconds, the fat remains in the artery and so fat the body, "says Hamilton

Sitting all day to reduce the activity of lipoprotein about 90 to 95 percent. Another bad fact, there are some experts who argue that 60 to 90 minutes of exercise can not neutralize the effects of sitting all day.

In fact, Hamilton said, biochemical reactions in people who sit a long time is very slow compared to someone who a lot of physical activity. James Levine, MD, an obesity researcher at the Mayo Clinic, also reveals, the biggest difference between lean and obese people is not how much they eat or exercise. But, how long they sit.
