Burn calories, and can be on the couch

Researchers from Yale University concluded that people during the holidays different heat exchange. Some stocks of calories burned by the body much more active.
People who are trying to lead a more active lifestyle, muscle cells convert glucose and fat out of food into energy, go into a special mode of existence. For example, how to calculate the experts, people who regularly run, they consume 54 percent more fuel and at rest, than those who do not run. Physical activity increases cellular metabolism, causing the body constantly burns calories . (In addition, the process of increasing the intracellular fat burning that occurs with exercise, and at rest in trained people leads to a decrease in the resistance of cells to insulin. It can be assumed that running and other physical activity reduces the risk of diabetes of the second type, even at rest .)

And although in terms of the normal physiology of the body shall burn calories   at rest, experiments scientists have shown that in the absence of movement and sports, this process is disrupted. "We have seen that a sedentary lifestyle have a negative impact on health and lead to weight gain as a result of the lack of muscle activity and disturbed metabolism in the cells, causing the body loses its ability to efficiently burn energy" - the authors explain the work.
