Sedentary lifestyle can lead to weight gain, obesity and other cardiovascular diseases. It is essential to maintain a healthy routine and lifestyle habits to prevent health issues and to promote weight loss.

Here are some tips that can promote weight loss and help you beat the sedentary lifestyle.

Exercise

Exercise is one of the best ways to burn calories, promote heart health and lose weight. Instead of sitting in one place for a long time, engage yourself in physical activities.

Walk

If your work is sedentary then make sure to take enough breaks in between and go for a short walk. Take a stroll around your office or climb stairs. This way you can increase your daily step count and reduce weight.

Stand

Instead of sitting continuously in one place, try doing the same activity while standing for 20-25 minutes. Standing can help boost your strength and promote weight loss.

Drink lots of water

Drinking lots of water will flush out toxins from your body and urge you to walk till the washroom. Make sure to consume an adequate amount of water every day to promote weight loss and detox your body.

Avoid unhealthy foods

Having unhealthy foods can lead to obesity and other health problems. Avoid unhealthy and processed foods as they can take longer to digest and increase your weight.
