I remember a time when you had to get up to answer the phone. There were no mobile devices. People would have the phone in the hall of their home. Burning off calories when they ran to answer it before it stopped.
Now we just take a phone from our pocket or bag and in the process help to gain weight. The average person would lose 2kg per year if they had to get up and answer a telephone that was in another room.
other things that make us lazy are lifts and escalators, just walking up and down the stairs at work can shed the fat. We were never designed to for comfort. We were evolved from beings that were constantly on the move, fighting against the odds to survive. Now the same amazing body has been set free of challenge by our intelligence. We have created comfort and in so doing created our own demise.
What will you do, next time you here your mobile in the lift?
