Sitting too long on the sofa reading a book or watching television is very pleasant indeed. However, do not do it too often. The reason is because this habit can enlarge the size of your buttocks.
Even worse, it can shrink your bottom muscles and damage it. This warning came from Amit Gefen, Israeli scientist who published his research in the American Journal of Physiology – Cell Physiology.
He performed scanning in people who had to sit and sleep in a long time due to paralysis. The result is their buttocks muscles shrink and damaged due to less moving. It is also noted that the fat cells continue to grow in the absence of activity and creates a very thick fat line.
From these results, it is not surprising that Amit suggested the workers who every day sit for hours to provide time to walk. The reason is that researchers found thatpreadipocyte, precursors to fat cells, turn into fat cells and produce more fat when you sit or lie down for a long time.
The risk of obesity is of course higher. Not to mention other diseases that arise from too much of fat in the body. So, Balance your old habit of sitting with other activities like walking, running or other exercises.
“The problem of obesity is more than just an imbalance of calories. Cells in the body are also responsive to the mechanic movement environment. Fat cells will produce triglycerides (fatty deposits in the body’s largest) more and at a faster rate, when exposed to static stretching,” said Amit, according to the Daily Mail.
These findings suggest that we need to move more so that fat cells is not produced in excess. Also notice the calorie intake from foods and beverages consumed.
