Activate your anti-obesity system: Stand up!

Did you stand up? You’ve done it! You’ve launched your anti-obesity system! 

What’s going on? According to researchers, standing is related to anti-obesity while spending too much time sitting is related to obesity. 

Why would this be? Researchers found that an appetite control device is activated when we stand. That’s right, cells in the leg bones adjust our appetites — but only as we stand or move. 

As we stand or move the cells act as “body (weight) scales,” sensing our body’s weight and sending the message to our internal appetite controls. Hmmm, you may be thinking, my body scale is not doing its job considering my weight problem. The key here is that when we sit too much, the system isn’t put into action. Too much sitting means such signals are not send out with weight gain as a result.
