2. Relaxed lifestyle
Living a sedentary lifestyle can lead to a significant reduction in the number of calories you burn each day. Due to the pandemic, most of us work from home and sit all day, which has a negative effect on our metabolism and overall health.
Any physical activity such as standing, cleaning, climbing stairs, cooking, can all help you burn calories. This type of activity is called non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT).
