Research shows that sitting all day without breaks is a huge health risk. Sitting for long periods may raise blood pressure, obesity, high blood sugar, bad cholesterol, belly fat, and early death.
"Too much sitting and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to more fat gains and derail your weight loss. "Sitting also makes belly fat creases and folds worse and more unflattering."
It may come as a surprise to hear that sedentary eating habits like checking social media, texting, or viewing videos while you eat may increase your risk of developing belly fat.
This is a common mistake that most of us do, but it may lead to significant increases in calorie intake that you might not even notice.
Making excuses for your bad eating habits will not help you lose weight. Saying to oneself, "Today was stressful, so I really deserve this dessert, drink, meal, etc." is an example of rationalization.
Too many individuals, provide excuses for their inability to reduce weight and poor lifestyle choices. Get a plan instead, and then you won't have to make any decisions at all; you can simply follow the plan and savor the results.
Snack foods, sweets, fast food, and drink can be tasty, but they're bad for you. However, they are very addicting, contain many unnecessary calories, and have no positive health effects.
Don't grab a bag of chips or a candy bar from the vending machine in the break room; they're not good for your health or your waistline.
