辦公室久坐危害多

        You may hit the gym at lunchtime or go for a run when you get home. But such efforts will have minimal effect if you spend the rest of your time doing what you are probably doing now - sitting down.

　　你或許在午休時(shí)會(huì)去健身房，或許下班后會(huì)去跑步。但如果其余時(shí)間里你都像現(xiàn)在這樣--久坐不動(dòng)，那么你的鍛煉可能收效甚微。

　　In a glut of new research on the subject, experts are warning that we should 'beware our chair', as spending too long in it can raise the risk of high blood pressure, a sluggish metabolism and weight gain.

　　在最近大量的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)中，專家們警告大眾要“當(dāng)心你的椅子”，因?yàn)殚L(zhǎng)時(shí)間“黏”在椅子上可能面臨患高血壓，代謝減緩和體重增加的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

　With the average person sitting down for just under nine hours a day at the office, at home or in the car, even a daily workout is unlikely to offset the risks of being seated for too long.

　　一般人每天有近9小時(shí)的時(shí)間坐在辦公室、家中或者汽車上，即使每天堅(jiān)持鍛煉，也無法抵消久坐的危害。

　　Sit ups: Being chair-bound for too long can raise the risk of high blood pressure, a sluggish metabolism and weight gain.

　　從椅子上站起來！久坐對(duì)身體的危害包括高血壓，代謝減緩和體重增加。

　　According to Swedish scientists, quoted in the British Journal of Sports Medicine recently, prolonged sitting should carry a public health warning.

　　《英國(guó)運(yùn)動(dòng)醫(yī)學(xué)雜志》最近引述瑞典科學(xué)家的觀點(diǎn)，久坐不動(dòng)已成為威脅公眾健康的隱患，應(yīng)當(dāng)引起重視。

　　So why is the humble chair being blacklisted? As the most passive activity behind lying down, being seated burns a bare minimum of calories - even eating an apple or fidgeting uses more energy than parking your bottom on a chair.

　　但為什么這次是“老實(shí)巴交”的椅子被列入黑名單呢？作為被動(dòng)性僅次于躺的活動(dòng)，“坐”的狀態(tài)將人體熱量消耗降至最低--吃一顆蘋果或“坐立不安”的扭來扭去，都比“黏”坐在椅子上消耗的熱量多。

While standing engages muscles in your back, shoulders and legs, sitting presents no positive physical challenge to the body, forcing it instead into an inactive state.

　　“站立”能鍛煉背部，肩部和腿部的肌肉，而“坐”不但沒有對(duì)身體提出積極的體力考驗(yàn)，反而強(qiáng)制它進(jìn)入懈怠狀態(tài)。

　　It is almost inevitable, researchers say, that long-term sitters find their waistline expanding.

　　研究人員說，長(zhǎng)期的“坐者”都不可避免的遭遇了腰圍增大的現(xiàn)實(shí)。

　　While the action of standing up only burns a few calories, do it enough times a day and it makes a real difference.

　　雖然“站起來”一次只能消耗幾卡路里的熱量，但只要每天堅(jiān)持做幾次，就能起到明顯的作用。

　　It's easy to burn 30 to 50 extra calories a day, which is enough to prevent a weight gain of 2lb to 3lb a year. Spend your time sitting down and the pounds will creep on unnoticed.

　　每日多消耗30到50卡路里并不難，但足以防止體重每年增加2到3磅。如果大量時(shí)間都處于 “坐”的狀態(tài)，肥肉就會(huì)悄悄的降臨到你身上。
