最容易的減肥瘦身方式:自願"罰站"吧!

Recent research compare the sedentary behaviour to smoking, warning it could slash years from your lifespan. Now, researchers at the University of Texas, have added their weight to the argument. They found standing for up to six hours a day, can cut fat levels by a third.

長久穩坐不動同吸菸一樣嚴重危害身體健康，近期美國得克薩斯大學的一項研究表明，久坐不動易導致肥胖，但是減肥也並沒有那麼困難，每天“罰站”6小時，便可能掉肉1/3，自願“罰站”瘦得快！

Being upright, rather than slumped at your desk, in front of the TV or on the train to work, for one quarter of the day is linked to a 32 percent decrease in the chance of becoming obese.

研究發現，站着乘地鐵、看電視、上班加起來超過6小時，發胖機率可降低32%。

They found that among men, standing a quarter of the time was linked to a 32 percent reduced likelihood of obesity (body fat percentage). Standing half the time was associated with a 59 percent reduced likelihood of obesity. But standing more than three-quarters of the time was not associated with a lower risk of obesity.

在對7000多位成年人的站立習慣、體質指數、體脂率和腰圍進行調查後，美國專家發現，男性每天站立6小時，發胖機率降低32%，站12個小時，發胖機率不到40%，但是久站和久坐都傷身，每天站超過18小時並不會降低發胖風險。

In women, standing a quarter, half, and three quarters of the time was associated with 35 percent, 47 percent, and 57 percent respective reductions in the likelihood of waist size. The US scientists looked at the standing habits of more than 7,000 adults and compared their body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage and waist size.

女性站立6小時，12小時、18小時發胖機率分別降低35%，47%和57%，腰部也會因此變細。
