[MUSIC PLAYING] Hi. I'm Dr. Miller with a quick weight loss tip. To shave as much as one and a half inches from your waist,
just stand up more. In a study of middle-aged adults, those who frequently got out of their chairs for a bit had waists that were more than an inch smaller than peers who
sat for long stretches of time. A big waist means you're more likely to have bad stuff going on inside your body, like inflammation, high blood
pressure, insulin resistance, high blood sugar, and unhelpful fat deposits around your vital organs. But taking frequent breaks from sitting
could melt that belly fat. And they don't have to be long breaks. In the study, people had to stand for only one minute for it to count as a break.
But to have an impact, those standing breaks have to be frequent. If that sounds like too much to remember, consider this.
Studies suggest that people with highly sedentary habits live shorter lives and have a greater risk of heart disease, even if they exercise regularly.
