• NEAT, or Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, refers to the energy expended for everything we do when we're not sleeping, eating, or exercising. This can include activities such as walking to the bus stop, typing at a computer, or even fidgeting while sitting. Understanding NEAT is vital, as it can significantly influence our overall energy expenditure and, consequently, our weight management. With modern lifestyles often promoting sedentary behaviour, increasing NEAT can be an effective strategy for enhancing daily calorie burn. Simple changes, such as taking the stairs instead of the lift or standing while working, can make a considerable difference over time. By being mindful of our daily movements, we can harness the power of NEAT to support a healthier lifestyle.
