Are You Getting Enough Movement Nutrition?

Movement is not exercise, but rather something we do every moment of the waking day. Despite being a critical aspect of our lives, we’re typically unaware of our movements and pay little attention to them. Even though we know that the current form of the human body is a result of hunting, gathering and adapting to various environments over time, we still don’t seem to fully grasp that our daily movement patterns have the ability to impact our physiology.

Do you remember how old you were when you first thought about your weight?

I’m sad to say it was grade three when I first did. Grade THREE – isn’t that crazy?! Is this typical for girls? I wasn’t an overweight kid and my mom and those close to me never really obsessed about weight, so why did the issue take hold of me so early on?
