NEAT

Why NEAT Movement Matters More Than You Think

Beyond the Gym: Why Daily Movement Is Key We often think of health in terms of workouts: an hour at the gym, a run in the park, or a yoga class. But what if the real secret to longevity lies in what you do outside of those structured sessions? This is where NEAT comes in — Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. In simple terms, NEAT is all the energy you burn during daily activities that aren’t formal exercise: walking, cooking, gardening, even fidgeting. And according to research, it may be just as — if not more — important than your workout. Why Sitting Is the New Smoking A sedentary lifestyle is one of the greatest threats to long-term health.

9 Essential Exercises Every Woman Over 40 Should Be Doing

Why Your Fitness Needs Change After 40 What worked in your 20s and 30s doesn’t always work anymore. Back then, endless cardio might have kept you lean and energized.

From perimenopause and through menopause, hormonal fluctuations accelerate muscle loss (sarcopenia) and slow down metabolism. Relying on cardio alone can backfire: it often spikes cortisol, increases hunger, and delays recovery. To stay strong, protect your bones and joints, and keep your metabolism healthy after 40, it’s crucial to focus on strength training combined with daily walking. Building muscle becomes your greatest ally — not just for how you look, but for how you age. The Benefits of...

Get Energy Fast

Natural Ways to Boost Your Energy

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s tempting to reach for quick energy fixes like energy drinks, coffee, or sugary snacks.

Gadgets I use to track my health

One thing that keeps me really motivated when it comes to fitness and wellness is health gadgets. Truth to be told, I would probably be a real slacker if I wasn't able to track my training. For years I've been tracking my running sessions, my power walks and all other activities that I count as a workout. Personally, I find it very beneficial for me to use health gadgets to get insights about my daily training and habits. However, I know this is not a general thing, as people in my immediate circle thinks the opposite. So, I wouldn't say that health gadgets is great for everyone but they works very well in terms on getting me motivated and active. I think other biohackers are...
