Another Component of Weight Loss

Interesting new studies show that exercise is not enough to help get rid of that bludgeoning body fat. It turns out that standing up and puttering around is just as important. Apparently when we sit down, the enzymes that are responsible for burning fat just shut down. Can you believe it? They just stop doing their job! So for those of us who make our living sitting down, we are keeping our bodies from working properly.

Lots more studies need to be done, but in the meantime, it would probably behoove us to see if we can't get up and move around more during our days. I wonder if an invention will be forth coming where we can ride a bike while we work or find some other way to move our lower body around while we use our computers. I am sure Microsoft will be on top of inventing the next computer generation that will enable us to do our work and be on our feet at the same time!
