CHAPTER FIVE

Disruptive Movement

Our bodies need to move to stay healthy, but modern technology has reduced much of the need for human movement. Cars reduce the time we spend walking. Machines, such as washing machines, reduce the amount of physical work we do around the house. Home entertainment, such as watching television and using computers, increases our inactive periods. Decreasing physical activity exacerbates overweight and obesity.
