When I read this title I imagined active sitting to mean something like sitting in a rocking chair. To call sitting active because someone is using their brain seems even more stretched. We already know that you need to exercise your body and brain. Do we really need a term for different kinds of sitting to make us feel better about at least using our brain while our body decays?

Re: 'Active' sitting is better for brain health: review of studies
#62"Passively watching TV" feels like a common target for brain health/strength/etc discussions. I'm curious if there's been any studies into the differences that engagement with television programs can have on the brain. There's been a whole breadth of television programming over the decades. I think it would be wrong to treat it all as equal in regards to how it impacts your brain.
When I talk to people about videos we both watched, I'm struck by how much more they remember. Meanwhile I can lecture about any book I've read while other people can barely scrap together a sentence. Different mediums engage different brains.
