Today’s book: Designed to Move by Dr. Joan Vernikos—a research-driven exploration of how life in gravity is essential to health, and how simple, frequent movement is a powerful antidote to the “sitting disease.”
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Gravity is essential. Just like astronauts lose bone and strength in space, prolonged inactivity on Earth accelerates aging.
- Movement is a daily nutrient. Health isn’t built in the gym alone—it’s earned in the sum of everyday motions.
- Frequent micro-movements matter. Stand, stretch, squat, walk—even for just minutes at a time—and repeat often.
- Your environment shapes behavior. Rethink chairs, desks, and floors—create a space that encourages movement.
- Tiny shifts, big payoff. Breaking up sitting regularly boosts mood, metabolism, balance, and longevity—and it’s sustainable.
You’re not built to sit still—you’re built to move. What micro-movement will you insert into your day today?
