Too much fat, only exercise is effective. Put down the hand-shaken drink order and refuse "afternoon tea"

Observing the discussions over the past year about how sedentary people can avoid obesity, we can find that the most popular method is "simple stretching exercises". For example, one netizen asked, "How to deal with the fat belly of sedentary office workers?" and mentioned that "after sitting for a long time at work, I am more and more afraid to look at my lower body", which sparked a discussion. Some netizens replied, "If you have too much fat, exercise is still necessary", "You can start with simple stretching exercises, the most important thing is to take the first step", "I secretly do leg lifts under the table", and they believe that if you want to stay away from obesity, you can't easily ignore the importance of exercise.

In addition, many people also mentioned that to stay away from sedentary obesity, one must also "avoid bad posture." For example, one netizen said that after he started working, his saddlebag fat became fatter and fatter, and shared that "it is important not to cross your heels or stand in a 3:7 stance. You have to pay attention to your usual sitting and standing posture to avoid gaining weight again." Some people also mentioned that "sitting cross-legged is not a good idea, as the fat will expand wildly," which resonated with many netizens, who said, "After seeing this article, I silently put my feet down..."

In an article where one netizen asked "Why is it so easy to gain weight after entering the workforce?", many people responded with comments such as "Because you can't miss afternoon tea in the office", "It's the company's snack cabinet that's causing trouble", "Order drinks in a group", etc., saying that if you want to stay away from obesity, you must try to resist the temptation of afternoon tea; in addition, "get up and walk regularly", "massage to reduce edema", and "drink more water to promote metabolism" are also ways that sedentary people cannot miss to improve their body shape.

Sitting for long periods of time not only easily causes lower body obesity, but also has negative effects on physical health. Let's all stand up, walk around, and stretch!
