The good news is, the solution is easy. Stand up! Stand up for your right to be as healthy as possible. Invest in a standing desk. Stand up for the commercials when you’re watching TV at night. Park farther away from the grocery store. Take showers, not baths. (Well, that one might be a bit of a stretch. Besides, we love a warm bath.) But, you get the idea.
