  • The article discusses the negative health impacts of sitting for long periods of time. Topics include the physiological impact of a lack of movement, such as slowed metabolism, which promotes obesity, a diabetic named Peter who lost weight by walking, which prevented the need to take insulin injections, research by the author and his colleagues on the health benefits of simple standing and walking during the day, and a phenomenon the author calls nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT).
