Dr. Diaz researched the harmful effects of sitting. Participants took part in "activity snacks," usually simply leaving a desk and walking for a few minutes.

Bottom line, moving is life-changing.
Move as little as five minutes and you will likely impact things like blood pressure, diabetes and mental health.
On this Dying to Ask:

- The unexpected business benefits to getting your people walking more.
- Come along on an activity snack with my friend and colleague, Eileen Javora
