As a medical doctor specializing in cancer rehabilitation, I often find myself echoing a common refrain to those around me: just move.
Inactivity has both a direct and an indirect effect on our health and function. Historically, we, as a society and as medical professionals, have often underestimated the effects of inactivity. Over the past several years, a shift in thinking has begun.
You’ve undoubtedly heard about the many studies that have reported on the health risks of inactivity and the health benefits of standing or moving. Although you can argue about the details of these studies, the premise of inactivity as a bad thing for our bodies is no longer debatable.
