Building Resilience: Sustain the Maker
summary
Claims concrete evidence: artery elasticity drops 2–4% after three hours of sitting (1% adds ~13% heart‑disease risk), 4,500 genes change after three days of inactivity, fat‑burning enzymes fall 80–90%, and 73% of nine‑year‑olds show bulging discs. A terminal assistant called Loyal renders the key chart and short mobility demos (wrist circles, clasp‑behind‑back test) that immediately ease stiffness. Proposed maintenance system lists six parts — identity, environment, feedback — with simple rules: break every hour and 10,000 steps a day plus weekly intense sessions and an SLA‑style fail‑safe.
