DESCRIPTION:
"PLEASE Read! This Book Literally Saved My Life!" according to JustMyOpinion. This is an incredible read. Dr Levine is well-spoken and uses wit, and would be enjoyable even if he were re-writing the phone book.

I gave this book five stars because the author knows what he's talking about and he writes in such an entertaining style that I could hardly put this book down - it reads like a page turning novel.

But few realize the health consequences they are suffering as a result of modernity's increasingly sedentary lifestyle, or the effects it has had on society at large. That the average adult spends 50 to 70 percent of their day sitting is no surprise to anyone who works in an office environment. In Get Up!, health expert James A.

Levine's original scientific research shows that today's chair-based world, where we no longer use our bodies as they evolved to be used, is having negativeconsequences on our health, and is a leading cause of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Levine shows how to throw off the shackles of inertia and reverse these negative trends through simple changes in our daily lives.. Over the decades, humans have moved from a primarily active lifestyle to one that is largely sedentary, and this change has reshaped every facet of our lives - from social interaction to classroom design
