A new study out of Finland finds that boosting your metabolism might be as simple as standing up more. Researchers discovered that people who cut just 30 minutes of sitting time a day, even by standing while on the phone, showed measurable improvements in metabolic health. The benefits were strongest for adults who are inactive, overweight, or at higher risk for heart disease or diabetes. It’s not a free pass to skip workouts, but it’s a super easy place to start (hello, standing desk).
