Want to lose weight? Lose the smartphone. How they make us fat...


There’s could be something fattening in your hand - a fatphone!

A recent study is suggesting that smartphones are making us fat by encouraging a sedentary lifestyle. It looked at college students and discovered they spend an average of five hours per day on their phones, surfing, playing games or texting and those at the high end of that scale were less fit than those who kept their usage in check. 


A lot of mobile usage actually forces us to slow down or even stop moving altogether and that phone time can take a significant chunk out of daily, routine activity. Even just stopping to take pictures of something funny or beautiful stops us dead in our tracks, not to mention a few more inactive minutes editing and uploading that shot and then checking for likes and comments.
