Motion is health

The effect of food and motion on weight and health.

I have read an article that says that the more we sit or the more inactive we are, the better chance we have of becoming overweight and eventually obese. 

We drink coffee (not many calories unless we have what I call 'phoo-phoo coffee') or soda and or snacks or a low nutrition lunch.  We sit to much.  Kids are obese now.

A healthy liftstyle is a stool with legs called exercise, nutrition, positive attitude, and an integrated nervous system/chiropractic.  If any one of the legs are missing, you have a stool that tips and cannot be stable. It does not take a lot of effort to start.
