Description
Wake up, drive to work, sit for eight hours, drive home, order dinner delivery, and then plop on the couch for some much-needed zone out time. Sound familiar? As a society, being sedentary has become the norm and the negative health effects are starting to catch up. ITN Founder Cynthia Garcia is diving into how being sedentary affects us physically, mentally and spiritually, and simple tips for how to create a more active lifestyle. According to Dr. James Levine, author of Get Up! Why Your Chair Is Killing You and What You Can Do About It, life expectancy decreases by 22 minutes for every one hour spent watching television. Luckily, there are a few easy ways that can radically change your life, like doing light housework or walking on a treadmill while you watch your favorite show. Being sedentary doesn’t just affect adults, though. Nearly two thirds of our children are insufficiently active. Cynthia shares tips for how to get the whole family off the couch, like her family’s post-dinner walks around the neighborhood.
