The New Modern: Walk and Talk Meetings

 

 

     The Mayo Clinic's Dr. James Levine, MD, Phd. says, "The new modern is the walk-and-talk meeting."

 

     According to his research, after 90 seconds of sitting, cells sensitive to insulin begin to switch off, meaning you don't process glucose as easily. After 30 minutes seated, your triglycerides start to climb. On the other hand, standing engages the muscles of your legs and back, increases your metabolic rate; and your body processes cholesterol more efficiently.

 

     Solutions include:

  • Invest in a standing or treadmill desk    
  • hold meetings while taking a walk    
  • get out of your chair and walk every hour for 10 minutes.

     Side effect: One Silicon Valley entrepreneur added 20 miles of walking to her workweek and dropped 3 sizes.
