Love it! If you're stuck at a desk all day try to incorporate some if not all of these! as a side note if you can't walk and chew gum then you might want to avoid the treadmill desk

A few years back, my general manager and editor hurt his back deadlifting. He found the only way he could comfortably work at a desk was to stand.

Think about this: I was just told by a patient (who is a pharmacist) they have been recommending patients to me who have been coming by the pharmacy to get their prescriptions filled for pain who suffer with sciatica ( pain traveling from the lower back down the leg). The patient was confused and frustrated by the fact that they KNEW of someone who could fix their problem WITHOUT MEDICATION and some their clients politely dismissed them. The clearly frustrated patient asked me " why would you take a pill (something to hide the pain) if you could fix the problem?" Remember: This is coming from a Pharmacist, someone who is knows the value of medication when is appropriate, yet they know when and WHEN NOT to take medication. This is a very powerful message, what are your thoughts?

Scared of Alzheimer Disease? Run!
An article in Annals of Internal Medicine followed people over their lifetime and found that those who engaged in physical activity such as running, rowing, etc OVER THEIR LIFETIME had a statistically lower risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease. Keep in mind this is people who exercised throughout their entire life. (jogging every year around the new year doesn't count) It's never too late to start, just don't stop!
