https://www.runnersworld.com/health-injuries/a20860422/stand... A quick google brings this up. It seems to me that being alive is the leading cause of death.
Well, what do they say about lying in bed all day?
I think a solution for this is alternating between standing and sitting desk with the recommended time interval being 20 min sitting, 8 min standing and 2 min just generally moving around. Instead of buying a transitioning desk I just hooked 3 monitors to my desktop where 2 are sitting and 1 (lg 2560px) is standing and created a small delphi app that switches the monitor for me every 30 mins. So far it has done some…
I just have a standing desk with an extra high drafter-style chair, and everything carefully adjusted so that the keyboard and monitor work for both sitting and standing.

Throw a few heavy deadlifts in there. You'll develop some hard glutes.
Barbell hip thrust and bulgarian split squats, if you really want to work those glutes. Squats and deadlifts are great , but always try to include some bilateral work (eg bulgarian split squats and lunges) and exercises to focus on specific muscle groups (eg hip thrusts).

Soft wide saddles are actually worse for this. You need a relatively narrow saddle, with a deep cutout in the middle.
And you need to have it adjusted right, so you end up sitting correctly. And if course you should slightly vary your position over the course of a ride.
A good bike shop will be able to find you the perfect saddle and fit.

Toilet paper might also be causing hemorrhoids. Consider that our bodies were not evolved to use toilet paper, and that hemorrhoids are virtually unheard of in third-world countries that lack TP. (I haven't confirmed that latter claim. It's just something I read once, somewhere.) Anyone who's been sick and had to go to the loo multiple times in a row will notice how painful it becomes. I'm not sure it would be painfu…

Don’t flush baby wipes, or anything except fences or toilet paper. They clog drains and interfere with the sewage treatment process.
I'm guessing that fences might also be a slight problem for the sewer system.

I've read that the culprit is not toilet paper, but the face that we sit when we shit, while we ostensibly evolved to squat. So the bowels don't straighten out as they should, and the excessive pushing leads to pressure which gradually causes blood vessels to bulge over time. Also, baby wipes work for adults too.

Go swimming! I do, and it takes some gravity off your body for a bit. <3

If you get numbness or ED from cycling, you need a better saddle! Don't just "suck it up", you need to find a saddle that puts your weight on your ischial tuberosities or "sit bones", not your soft squishy perineum. Soft wide saddles are actually worse for this. You need a relatively narrow saddle, with a deep cutout in the middle. And you need to have it adjusted right, so you end up sitting correctly. And if course…
I feel like the road runner sometimes.
