This Round Table discussion delves into the surge in popularity of mini hotpots in China and the health risks linked to sitting for long periods. Mini hotpots, which are smaller, individual versions of traditional hotpots, are gaining traction thanks to their affordability, convenience—like conveyor belt systems—and customizable options for broth, ingredients, and sauces. The trend of solo dining is also contributing to their rise.

The conversation includes practical tips, such as using height-adjustable desks and wearable tech, to help reduce the risks associated with extended sitting.
