The stand up
summary
Sitting six or more hours a day links to 40% higher mortality over 15 years even if regular exercise, and standing briefly boosts brain oxygen by about 20%, so the practical fix is frequent micro-breaks: every hour take 2–5 minutes of walking or standing, alternate sit/stand desks, and increase NEAT (nonexercise activity thermogenesis). Basal metabolic rate is ~1850 kcal for many people, and anecdotally one example shows a 52 kg weight loss after lifestyle and NEAT changes.
