Can standing still help you lose weight?

Maybe many female friends don’t know that standing still can help you lose weight. This is mainly because standing still does not constitute exercise for us, so people mistakenly believe that standing still cannot help you lose weight. In fact, standing still can help you lose weight because it can digest nutrients in our body, adjust our breathing problems, and also has a tightening effect on the abdomen. Therefore, standing still for a long time can help you lose weight.

One of the reasons why standing still can help you lose weight is that standing still itself is a form of exercise. Although standing in a posture does not involve moving the limbs like general sports, the circulation of Qi and blood in the body is strengthened, thereby accelerating the body's metabolism. If you stand in a posture for more than half an hour, it is possible to achieve the same weight loss effect as doing normal aerobic exercise.

The second reason why standing still can help you lose weight is related to the body shape requirements when standing still. Generally speaking, when standing in a stance, one is required to tighten the lower abdomen and protrude the Mingmen. On the one hand, this action helps to develop the habit of tightening the abdomen. On the other hand, it strengthens the gasification and transformation functions of the Mingmen area, thereby improving the ability to transform the tangible and intangible, and helping to maintain a normal human shape.

The third reason why standing still can help you lose weight is related to your breathing while standing still. After standing in the stance for a period of time, your normal chest breathing will switch to abdominal breathing, and your breathing will become deeper and longer. These changes themselves are beneficial for weight loss, especially reverse abdominal breathing, which means that the lower abdomen is pulled towards the life gate when inhaling, and relaxed when exhaling.

The fourth reason why standing still can help you lose weight is related to the conscious activity of standing still. Taking the practice of the three hearts and standing still as an example, the thoughts regularly move from the top of the head, the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet to the lower abdomen. In fact, the Qi of the entire body is regularly recovered to the Mingmen. From the perspective of holistic theory, changes in qi are the precursor to changes in body form. If a person's qi can be effectively converged, the person's body will also shrink accordingly. This is a process of guiding Qi with mind and transforming with Qi.

I believe that after reading this article, you will understand that standing still can help you lose weight. You should all understand that standing still for more than half an hour every night can speed up metabolism and help us maintain a beautiful body.
