About this title

Synopsis

Humans are designed to move. A body at rest is a body that’s falling asleep—right down to its enzymes and metabolism. Much of the modern workforce sits between 70 and 90 percent of the time. This results in what Rudy Kachmann, MD, refers to as “sitting disease,” a major contributor to strokes, dementia, cancers, diabetes, obesity, and many other chronic illnesses afflicting the population.

The good news is that sitting disease is treatable, reversible, and, most importantly, preventable by following this guide to wellness.

Prisoners of the chair can learn how to break free and cure sitting’s detrimental effects, victims of the widespread sugar addiction afflicting today’s society will discover how to tame cravings and avoid pitfalls, and dieters will find refreshing wisdom in learning it’s not about eating fewer calories but eating the right calories.

It’s scientifically proven that sitting for two to three hours straight is as detrimental to one’s health as smoking a pack of cigarettes. Now is the time to stand up and take steps toward beating the sitting disease—and Dr. Kachmann’s easy-to-use and informative book is here to guide readers back to health.
