What methods for white-collar workers to lose weight have you overlooked

For white-collar workers, prolonged sitting is definitely not conducive to their physical health, and everyone should take responsibility for their own body. We all know that white-collar workers who sit in front of their desks for long periods of time are most likely to accumulate excess fat around their waist, which can be very troublesome for women who love beauty. So, how can these white-collar workers lose weight? Let's take a look at this article.

The impact of prolonged sitting on weight loss

For office workers and white-collar workers, sitting for a whole day is a rare and common thing, but do you know how harmful prolonged sitting is to our physical health?

a. Affects physical fitness level and weakens exercise effectiveness

American scholars have found that sitting for 2 hours in a row can offset the cardiorespiratory ability that can be exercised by 20 minutes of physical exercise, affecting physical fitness and weakening exercise effectiveness. Lack of exercise will gradually reduce a person's endurance and physical flexibility, and daily activities will become increasingly tiring and difficult. In addition, whether or not one has developed a habit of exercising, sitting for a long time can affect their physical fitness level.

b. Affects body circulation and reduces metabolic levels

Prolonged sitting can cause a series of complex and extensive metabolic changes, such as unused muscles not only shrinking, but also transforming from endurance muscle fibers that could burn fat to fast muscle fibers that rely more on glucose. Muscles lacking exercise also lose mitochondria, which are the driving units of cells and can also burn fat. The workload of muscles decreases, making them more reliant on carbohydrates, resulting in the accumulation of unused lipids.

c. Not conducive to digestion, multiple cases of moderate to generalized obesity

Prolonged sitting and lack of movement can lead to decreased digestive function, slow gastrointestinal peristalsis, reduced secretion of digestive juices by digestive glands, and digestive system symptoms such as loss of appetite, bloating, constipation, and indigestion.

Firstly, lie flat on the floor with your feet resting on a chair and your thighs at a right angle to the ground. Place your right hand behind your head and straighten your left hand to the side. Then gradually raise the upper body to a 30 degree angle with the floor, while twisting the right elbow towards the left knee when leaning forward. This action is performed 15 times per group, with 3 sets performed daily. The effect can be seen within two weeks.

Don't underestimate this breathing method, it can help stimulate intestinal peristalsis, promote the excretion of waste in the body, and smooth airflow. Remember to use diaphragmatic breathing when walking or standing. After a few weeks, not only will your lower abdomen become flat, but even your walking posture will become more charming.

Inhale, lower your abdomen, lift your head and neck upwards until your shoulders are lifted off the ground. Maintain this position, while inhaling, slowly straighten one leg and keep the heel on the ground. Exhale, bring your leg back to the bent position, and then switch to the other leg. It should be noted that the order of breathing must be correct. If you can persist in doing 5 sets every day, you can see changes in your waist after two weeks.

Conclusion [SEP]: Losing weight and slimming the abdomen is something that many female white-collar workers need. White collar jobs are relatively comfortable, working nine to five and sitting for a whole day can easily lead to weight gain.

This invisibly "enlarges" the middle of the body, like a "bucket", causing moderate to widespread obesity.
