I think this is mostly a curiosity.

Why do people think this is relevant for HN? Is people seriously trying to "hack" their metabolism? What for? Being able to spend, say, 16 hours sitting in front of a computer typing code away?



As I get older, I more and more realise the negative health impacts of a mostly sedantry job - anything to offset that is surely in the interests of most HN readers


Being sedentary seems to be really bad for you and programmers are the forefront of this as we spend lots of time motionless.

There seems to be correlations with major diseases as well as muscular skeleton pain. It’s not even 16 hours. Even 8 hours seems to be bad,(especially if it’s not spread out), since we live in a pretty sedentary world now.

I’ve been following these threads on hacker news as I want to prevent as much pain and diseases as I can.
