TED Talks - Nilofer Merchant suggests a small idea that just might have a big impact on your life and health: Next time you have a one-on-one meeting, make it into a "walking meeting" -- and let ideas flow while you walk and talk.
SSTattler: Hey lets have SSTattler meeting walk!
Willumpie Steve Jobs was also known to take business meetings outside. The most notorious deals where actually made walking.
Forth Meta Chairs were designed with the consideration of the human body.To say we sit because we're evolved to do so is saying that the human body was designed with the consideration of chairs. Conserving energy isn't necessarily good; people with sedentary jobs live shorter than people who move around/standmore
superhamzah85 When we don't have to move, we sit. It's our default resting state. I'm not saying we evolved the ability to sit. I'm not saying it's good or bad either. Just explaining why we sit. Similarly, we've evolved to seek out high sugar and high fat foods, this doesn't justify a modern diet of sugar and fat, merely explaining why the problem exists. It's not a modern development, it's an ancient acquired trait that is no longer a benefit.
rstevewarmorycom Runners have a shorter life expectancy, as do professional athletes. Below that, there is not a significant distinction between the longevity of the sedentary and that of the energetic, as long as they both remain active and involved at their own levels. Doctors had to give up telling people they'd live longer when it wasn't found to be true, so now they dodge the question by claiming it increases the "quality" of life, even though many regard exercise as a profound decrease in quality of life.
and many comments Nilofer Merchant: Got a meeting? Take a walk in YouTube.
