Exercise!
In our modern society, people are less active. We drive cars, sit in front of our computer or TV, do not have to do manual work as much as we used to.
Research shows than many adults spend more than 7 hours a day sitting down! This includes driving to and back from work, sitting at work, watching television in the evening and so on!
