Sedentary Living: 300+ Expert Talks
About Sedentary Living
Sitting most of the day is so normal now that many people don't connect it to how they feel. Fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, chronic pain, losing strength or mobility with age, and diagnoses like insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or osteoporosis are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past exercise tips. How much you move affects your blood sugar, your heart and arteries, your hormones, your bones, your brain and your mood. You'll find conversations on muscle as the most important organ you're ignoring, heart-healthy workouts, midlife metabolism, and building muscle to protect your brain as you age. Doctors, fitness and longevity experts and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from cardiometabolic markers and body composition to bone density scans, and what helps, from strength training and more daily movement to cardio, enough protein, better sleep and habits that stick.
