Space Reveals The Cost Of Inactivity
- Astronauts in zero gravity lose muscle, bone, balance, and stamina, revealing how inactivity harms us on Earth.
- Dr. Joan Vernikos links space physiology to everyday sedentary lifestyles and their health effects.
Build Gravity-Friendly Daily Habits
- Do incorporate NEAT (non-exercise activity) like standing, walking, stretching, and posture changes throughout your day.
- Build G habits that resist gravity: stand often, use stairs, lift, and move regularly to reset metabolism.
Move Frequently Instead Of Only Intense Workouts
- Do stand up frequently during work; even brief, regular motion resets metabolic systems and improves health.
- Avoid relying solely on a single intense daily workout while sitting for long stretches.
