The Surprising Way Your Body Burns Calories"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Staying healthy and active isn\u2019t just about a consistent workout routine. What you do before, after, and between your workouts is just as important as the sessions themselves.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"What-is-NEAT?-Understanding-Non-Exercise-Activity-Thermogenesis\">What is NEAT?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) is how your body uses calories throughout the day when not exercising. This can include sleeping, breathing, eating, cleaning &#8211; anything that does not involve directly planned exercise &#8211; but also providing energy to your vital organs, including your heart.<\/p>\n<h3>The difference between NEAT and exercise<\/h3>\n<p>NEAT is not exercise. It incorporates everything you do in a day when you are not exercising. From cooking your meals to sleeping, and working to gardening, your body uses its internal energy supply to function normally and keep you feeling your best.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"The-importance-of-NEAT\">The importance of NEAT<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>NEAT is an essential physiological tool to keep your body running smoothly. Let us explore its importance:<\/p>\n<h3>Weight management and NEAT<\/h3>\n<p>Without NEAT, we may experience weight gain and loss, and calories might not be directed to essential areas such as the heart, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2020\/03\/26\/5-tips-for-a-stronger-immune-system\/\"><strong>immune system<\/strong><\/a>, and brain. Increasing NEAT can be a helpful weight management tool. It is crucial for fat loss because it can make up a substantial portion of your total daily energy expenditure.<\/p>\n<h3>NEAT for improved metabolic health<\/h3>\n<p>NEAT is a vital part of our metabolism &#8211; the chemical reactions in the body\u2019s cells that change food into energy. The body will adjust its NEAT by increasing or decreasing a whole heap of your bodily systems including your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2024\/07\/30\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-resting-heart-rate\/\"><strong>heart rate<\/strong><\/a>, walking pace, cognition, and more, to adapt to the calories given. NEAT is the energy expended maintaining and changing posture (laying, standing, walking, etc.) and other routine activities.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"5-practical-tips-to-boost-NEAT\">5 practical tips to boost NEAT<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let us explore the following practical tips to boost NEAT:<\/p>\n<h3>Incorporating movement into your daily routine<\/h3>\n<p>Get moving. Consider the following activities to boost your step count:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a walk on your lunch break<\/li>\n<li>Choose the stairs instead of the lift<\/li>\n<li>Watch television at home on a walking pad<\/li>\n<li>Take a work meeting on the move<\/li>\n<li>Extend your daily dog walk by 15 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Get moving when you do the dishes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Standing up more often<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2024\/01\/05\/how-to-avoid-sitting-long-on-office-desk\/\"><strong>Sitting too long<\/strong><\/a> is associated with increased chronic disease risk. Standing burns three times more calories per hour than sitting. When sitting for long periods, get up and move around every 20-30 minutes to keep your metabolism going. If you have the option, try using a standing desk instead of sitting all day.<\/p>\n<h3>Active hobbies and leisure activities<\/h3>\n<p>Incorporate hobbies like gardening, hiking, dancing, walking, running, and sports that keep you active. Indulge in leisure activities like surfing, bicycling, swimming, horse riding, golfing, and skiing. These activities will serve the dual purpose of boosting NEAT and having fun.<\/p>\n<h3>Fidgeting and its surprising impact<\/h3>\n<p>Fidgeting increases NEAT without you even realizing it. Try tapping your foot, wiggling your fingers, or drumming your hands together. Even chewing gum increases energy expenditure. <a href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/___https:\/\/www.ajpmonline.org\/article\/S0749-3797(15)00345-1\/abstract___.YXBzMTphZGl0eWFiaXJsYWNhcGl0YWw6YzpvOmZmOTQ2ZWJkYjIzYjExZmYzNGExYWE2MTQ0MWFkODc2OjY6YjY1OToyMGIwNTUwNGZkNjZjYTc1ZGRiMzQxNDUwZWVhNDg3ZWVjZDY1ZDRlNTExNTY5MGU1N2UxMmM0Yjg4MzUzMzY0OnA6VDpO\"><b>One study<\/b><\/a> found that people who fidget had a lower risk of dying, even when sitting for five to six hours daily.
