Filed under: Fitness • Health • Body

Sitting at desk

Which is such a bummer for us, as well as all of the NFL fans who spent their entire Sunday watching every football game.

A new study published in the American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology has found pressure put on areas of the body used for sitting or lying down produces up to 50% more fat in those parts.

After studying the MRI images of paralyzed patients' muscle tissue, researchers realized "preadipocyte cells - the precursors to fat cells - turn into fat cells and produce even more fat when subject to prolonged periods of 'mechanical stretching loads'."

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
