The episode covers the benefits of increasing NEAT, including weight management, improved metabolic health, enhanced mental well-being, and reduced risk of chronic diseases. Practical strategies to incorporate more NEAT into daily life, such as taking short walks, using standing desks, and engaging in household chores, are also discussed.
