時尚雙語:5個生活小習慣 輕鬆燃燒卡路里
Who says losing weight has to be hard? These effortless activities can help rev your metabolism—and melt the pounds away.
Actor Pete Postlethwaite once said: "I exercise every morning without fail. One eyelid goes up and the other follows." That quote may seem nonsensical, but the sentiment actually makes some sense.
Take a closer look at your daily routine, and you'll find plenty of opportunities for easy calorie-burning activities--no gym required. Or simply follow our cheat sheet to give your metabolism and your health an instant boost.
1. Walk, walk, walk
. It's a no-brainer that can't be stressed enough. Experts recommend taking 10,000 steps a day, so the next time you go shopping, park your car farther away from the entrance. In the office, visit your colleagues from different departments instead of messaging or phoning them. And always take the stairs instead of the elevator.
2. Do a housework workout
. Whenever you have to do those nagging chores, do them with some pizzazz. Grab your iPod or turn on the radio, and clean along to the music. You'll work at a faster pace and burn more calories, and your chores will be done before you know it.
3. Eat breakfast
. It may seem counterintuitive, but experts believe that skipping breakfast actually encourages obesity. Part of the reason, according to the American Diabetic Association, may be that eating breakfast helps speed up your metabolism.
4. Drink water
. Because sodas are full of sugar and empty calories, it takes a long time to burn them off. Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day, in contrast, has no calories, makes you feel full, and boosts your metabolism.
5. Turn down the heat
. Do this during the winter, especially at night, and you'll burn more calories. In the summer, turn on the air-conditioning. A colder environment forces your body to produce more heat, helping you to burn more calories.
誰說，減肥太難？ 以下這些輕鬆的活動將加快您的新陳代謝，身上的贅肉也慢慢消失了。
健康生活新聞
演員皮特波斯爾思韋特曾經說過：“我每天早上都會做一件事情，從未中斷過，那就是一隻眼睛睜着，一隻眼睛閉着，並輪流交替。” 看起來似乎沒什麼意義，但對情感上卻有調節作用。
仔細看看你每天做的事情，你就會發現其實你有很多機會燃燒熱量，而沒有必要去健身房。 或只是按照我們提出的這些方法，就可以促進代謝，使您更加健康。
1） 步行，步行，步行
強調千次萬次都不過分的就是步行啦。 專家建議每天走10000步，所以下次你去購物的時候，將車停在離入口較遠的地方。 上班的時候，直接去找其他部門的同事而不是打電話給他們。 並始終用樓梯代替電梯。
2） 做家務勞動鍛鍊
當你面對一大堆讓人頭疼的家務事的時候，不妨來點有有活力和動感的刺激。 拿起你的iPod或打開收音機，在音樂聲中勞動吧。 你會工作的更快，而且燃燒更多的熱量，在你不知不覺中，家務就做完啦。
3） 吃早餐
它可能似乎違反直覺，但專家認爲，不吃早餐實際上會引起肥胖。 根據美國糖尿病協會，部分原因可能是吃早餐有助於加速您的新陳代謝。
4） 喝水
汽水裏面全是糖沒有白卡路里，人體需要很長時間才能將其消耗。 相反，每天至少喝八杯水，也不含卡路里，但會讓你覺得很飽，而且加速人體的新陳代謝。
5 ）關小暖氣
請在冬季這麼做，尤其是在夜間，你會燃燒較多的卡路里。 在夏季則請打開空調。 在寒冷的環境中，人體將產生更多的熱量，幫你燃燒較多的卡路里。
