From Grahame Wilson
There is no satisfactory, let alone easy, solution to the health problems created by excessive time spent sitting behind a desk described by Richard A. Lovett (29 June, p 44). As with similar messages from the medical fraternity today, we’re left feeling annoyed and guilty.
These days it seems that just about every aspect of our lives is harming our health or will shorten our lives. If this issue of inactivity is as serious as the researchers say, then we’re in big trouble because, unlike smoking, sitting and working at desks is a cornerstone of modern life.
