Leading a sedentary lifestyle

Leading a sedentary lifestyle

Being sedentary may lead to a significant decrease in the number of calories you burn every day.

Notably, many people have lifestyles that mainly involve sitting at work, which can have negative effects on metabolic rate and overall health.

Although working out or playing sports can have a major impact on the number of calories you burn, even basic physical activity, such as standing up, cleaning, and taking the stairs, can help you burn calories.

This type of activity is referred to as non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT).
