No home remedy here replaces treatment, and none is talked down. What has done good for generations does good — even if no one ever measured it. Where something is well studied, it says so. Where it is only experience, it says that too.

A standing desk does not replace this — standing in one stretch is also a posture. The change is the active ingredient, not the position.
