Those are going together to be potent stimuli for biogenesis, mitophagy, mitochondrial fusion, for increasing antioxidant enzymes that are going to protect the mitochondria from that oxidative stress.

And the one that's just actually not in there in sort of the basic recommendations for Americans is the walking.

And I would just absolutely add to that at least 7,000 steps per day based on what the data is showing, which...

honestly, would probably take less than an hour total to do.

And if you break it up throughout the day, it's just a few minutes a day.

So that right there are going to be like a big multifaceted set of signals for increasing mitochondrial capacity in different ways.

I'm a massive fan of under treadmill desks because genuinely I believe that if we move more of our daily activities that we're doing seated indoors to outdoors moving, it would radically change the health of the United States with real physiology underneath it.

So there's actually been research on under desk, standing desks that is pretty interesting.

Small studies, but they...

You know, took a handful of people.

I think it was around 10, um, in a workplace environment and they had them use under desk treadmills for two and a half hours, uh, per day during the workday.

So not a lot at very, so speeds for.

Uh, two weeks and people lost on average 2.6 pounds of fat and put on 2.2 pounds of lean mass wild in a very short period of time.

The study makes a.

somewhat wild claim that if this were extrapolated to a year, we anticipate that we could see a loss of 44 to 66 pounds.

But that's why I'm saying it was a pretty – but that was there in the discussion.

But I think that short period is quite interesting because

So that's pretty significant.

And that's just for two and a half hours a day.

So I think now that they're about $150 on Amazon, these under-desk treadmills, I think for anyone who's a knowledge worker, it's a good thing to have at your house.
