Walk more and work more to reduce 350 calories per day

Modern people often use being too busy at work or studying as an excuse for not liking to exercise, which can increase the risk of three high diseases and metabolic syndrome in the long run. Chen Junzhong, professor at the Sports and Health Science Research Center of Yangming University, pointed out that engaging in more physical activities that are integrated into your lifestyle, such as climbing stairs, walking for commuting, doing housework, buying groceries, etc., can easily increase calorie consumption and achieve health effects by converting labor into exercise without setting aside special time.

American scientists have discovered through experiments that people who sit less and move more, and who move and walk more frequently, can burn 350 more calories from non-exercise than normal people. This shows that if you are more active and dynamic in your daily life, you will naturally be less likely to gain weight.
