Episode description
Due to technology’s sedentary seduction, people can now spend the majority of their waking day in a chair watching TV, working at a desk, playing video games, ordering take-out and delivery, reading, shopping, banking, eating a meal at a table, or navigating the stock market.
Current research findings reveal that too much sitting during the day is detrimental to a person’s health.
If you want to combat this, you have to do more than think, "I'll get moving more." You'll need to proactively create an action plan... one that incorporates different movements which fit seamlessly with your activities in work and daily living.
In short, it's time to engineer some exercise into your daily schedule.
Edward M. Phillips, MD, discusses the best ways to incorporate some exercise into your daily life and help fight off that sedentary lifestyle.
