The Importance of NEAT

NEAT, or Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, refers to all forms of physical activity apart from formal exercise or training sessions. It includes activities like walking, fidgeting, and maintaining posture. Increasing NEAT can significantly impact energy expenditure and contribute to weight loss or weight maintenance. Research shows that even small increases in NEAT, such as fidgeting or taking short walks, can burn additional calories throughout the day. Lean individuals tend to have higher NEAT levels compared to obese individuals. NEAT should be considered an important factor in achieving and maintaining a lean and healthy physique.
