Evidence-based and practical writing, bringing together the effect of being sedentary with useful ways to become less sedentary. Plenty of information worth knowing, but one that will stick with me is a study of peak blood sugar levels after a meal - a gentle 15 minute walk halves it. That's worth knowing and worth acting upon.
