Average American Could Lose Nearly Six Pounds Of Fat Per Year By Standing Six Hours Each Day

reports a new study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology suggests that if Americans, who sit an average of more than seven hours each day, were to stand for six of those hours, the average person “would burn an additional 54 calories a day.” This, researchers found, “could translate into a loss of about 5.5 pounds of body fat per year” for the average American, excluding diet changes and extraneous exercise. http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-standing-burns-calories-20180131-story.html
