The video that follows features James A, Levine, M.D., professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic and a world-renowned leader in obesity research. He is co-director of the Mayo Clinic/Arizona State University Obesity Solutions Initiative.

He is also the author of a new book about the dangers of sitting. That book is filled with research that should scare everyone about sitting too much.

book by James A. Levine, GET UP!

In the following video he talks about the value of moving rather than sitting, and he explains that a sedentary lifestyle can contribute significantly to obesity.

As an image consultant, I recommend Dr. Levine’s book to everyone. It can help improve the way you look and feel, and it can do wonders for your health.

Dr. Joseph Mercola has also written a good article on this subject: “Walking more may be key for a longer, healthier life.”
