Why getting moving is 'The Miracle Pill' - Peter Walker
It's estimated that 1.5 billion people around the world are so inactive that they are at greater risk of everything from heart disease to diabetes, cancer, arthritis, depression and even dementia. Daily activity used to be an integral part of daily life, but humans are now more static and sedentary than ever before. Peter Walker is the political correspondent for the Guardian in London, and a regular commentator and broadcaster on issues including active living and health. His new book is The Miracle Pill: why a sedentary world is getting it all wrong.
