'This book is pretty life-changing - encouraging, optimistic, rich
with information. It got me off the sofa.' Jeremy Vine 'This is
such a lovely, ambitious, fascinating book. Essential lockdown
reading. It allows us to reimagine our world and our bodies: we can
move more.' Dr Xand van Tulleken, TV presenter 'Truly uplifting'
Chris Boardman What is the 'miracle pill', the simple lifestyle
change with such enormous health benefits that, if it was turned
into a drug, would be the most valuable drug in the world? The
answer is movement and the good news is that it's free, easy and
available to everyone. Four in ten British adults, and 80% of
children, are so sedentary they don't meet even the minimum
recommended levels for movement. What's going on? The answer is
simple: activity became exercise. What for centuries was universal
and everyday has become the fetishised pursuit of a minority,
whether the superhuman feats of elite athletes, or a chore slotted
into busy schedules. Yes, most people know physical activity is
good for us. And yet 1.5 billion people around the world are so
inactive they are at greater risk of everything from heart disease
to diabetes, cancer, arthritis and depression, even dementia.
Sedentary living now kills more people than obesity, despite
receiving much less attention, and is causing a pandemic of chronic
ill health many experts predict could soon bankrupt the NHS. How
did we get here? Daily, constant exertion was an integral part of
humanity for millennia, but in just a few decades movement was
virtually designed out of people's lives through transformed
workplaces, the dominance of the car, and a built environment which
encourages people to be static. In a world now also infiltrated by
ubiquitous screens, app-summoned taxis and shopping delivered to
your door, it can be shocking to realise exactly how sedentary many
of us are. A recent study found almost half of middle-aged English
people don't walk continuously for ten minutes or more in an
average month. At current trends, scientists forecast, the average
US adult will expend little more energy in an average week than
someone who spent all their time in bed. This book is a chronicle
of this very modern and largely unexplored catastrophe, and the
story of the people trying to turn it around. Through interviews
with experts in various fields - doctors, scientists, architects
and politicians - Peter Walker explores how to bring more movement
into the modern world and, most importantly, into your life. Forget
the gym, introducing quick and easy lifestyle changes can slow down
the ageing process and even reverse many illnesses and increase
mental wellbeing.
