The body burns calories when you mark a rhythm with your feet, said James Levine and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in the journal Science (volume 307, p. 584) in its Friday morning edition.

The researchers conducted an experiment with ten people of normal weight and ten others who were slightly overweight, who are placed sensors on the body. These devices recorded every movement, however small it was, all day.

All participants had jobs that were to remain seated. During the ten-day experience normal activities, except that they ate at the clinic, to ensure that all consume equal portions for the same amount of calories.

The analysis of a total of 150 million data showed that thin people were “moving” average of 150 minutes per day than the overweight. This difference meant that burned 350 calories more daily, said Levine.

As a unit of measure for a more active metabolism, the team used the term Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis – NEAT – (burning calories for sports activities).

At a later stage of the study, the scientists showed that sedentary people and do less physical activity in nature and not because of their weight.

Dieted at 10 overweight people, while more had to eat Delegate thousand calories more per day.

Despite losing weight, overweight people were not encouraged to do physical exercises.

Conversely, thinner people were still moving more, despite having climbed a few kilos, and thus created the conditions for lower back weight.
