The latest research has shown that the brains of people who move more are actually, on average, physically bigger! They have a thicker cerebral cortex. Your cerebral cortex is responsible for the higher-level processes of the human brain, including language, memory, reasoning, thought, learning, decision-making, emotion, intelligence and personality. More research underscoring sedentary behaviors have a powerful unhealthy impact.

📢 A Reminder: Inflammation starts to build up in our muscles after only 10 to 15 minutes of sitting? This is why it is vital to move as much as possible. An important key to optimizing health is to keep inflammation low. Long periods of sitting, even for people who are otherwise physically active, take a toll on your health—and not just your sore back! It can also increase inflammation in your body and decrease insulin sensitivity (key to metabolic health) and heart health. Simply moving the body in any way (standing, stretching, squats etc. every hour) can help prevent this from occurring.
