Dr. Haggard used to think movement and walking were just healthy activities that people could choose or not choose to do. But now, he presents strong evidence that specific amounts of movement and walking are required for people to be healthy. If you don't currently move and walk enough, correcting these deficiencies can dramatically change your life! The most common public health issues could be improved or solved if people simply moved and walked more. Moving and walking more can significantly improve being overweight, heart disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, diabetes, depression, anxiety and sleep, all which costs our country billions of dollars every year. Peoples' ever-growing dependence on pharmaceutical drugs isn't the best answer to these public health problems, but moving and walking more are. Don't wait! Use the assessments in this book to determine the best ways to start moving and walking more today with the unintimidating, scientifically-based, step-by-step movement and walking solutions in this book. Sample concepts from Nudge Your Health, Step 1: Move : Walking deficiency is more common than most people think. Walking can be a powerlifting exercise. More walking can create substantial weight loss. This book challenges you with incorporating common habits in your life that have been shown to increase meaningful movement such as more cleaning; moving at meal times; moving while outside; taking care of others; engaging into arts, crafts and music; walking during work and travel; walking related to food; walking quality; and walking for play and recreation. I attempt to tie each movement habit to an emotion to try to touch your heart to get you to move more. The book ends with an inspirational message to hopefully motivate you to start a personalized exercise program, if you do not already have one.
