Episode 2656:

Discover the often-overlooked dangers of a sedentary lifestyle with insights from Kerry Ogden, who highlights how immobility can lead to severe health issues. Learn about seven essential types of rest that go beyond sleep, providing a holistic approach to rejuvenation and well-being.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://kerryogden.com/2022/03/sitting-is-the-new-smoking/ & https://kerryogden.com/2022/01/7-ways-to-rest/

Quotes to ponder:

"There are more ways to rest than sleep alone, but our chronically 'on' and high-achieving lifestyle would have us believe otherwise."

"We are only as old as our muscles are inactive. Doing nothing seems harmless, but we have to remind ourselves that the body was made to move."

"An emotionally rested person can answer the question 'How are you today?' with a truthful 'I’m not okay.'"
