Sitting for an extended period of time literally causes blood to drain from your brain, and this can impair cognitive function. But even simple movements (a two-minute walk for every thirty minutes of seated time) can promote normal blood flow. It works like this: when you move your body, you create small changes to your blood pressure, which pushes blood and nutrients to your brain.
