When we sit for prolonged periods, many of our body's functions go into sleep mode, including our metabolism! Based on the popular BBC podcast, Just One Thing , this book brings to life Dr Mosley's mission to unearth small, simple things you can introduce into your routine which will have a big impact on your mental and physical health. Michael also learns that a nice hot cup of green tea also induces calming brain waves, improves heart health and could even help delay dementia.

As I stand on one leg to type this review (something that I wouldn’t have done before taking up the ‘Just One Thing’ challenge! He chats to experts, road tests all his tips and even enlists the help of some special guests to help you find that one small thing that could really make a difference to how you feel every day. I’ve listened to many self-help books already though so didn’t there like I had anything new to take away. He picked 30 of his favourite things that you could fit into your life and explains the benefits of each one.The goods do not need to be in their original packaging however in a sellable condition, and at your own cost and risk. I like this book because I already do a ton of these things (Mr KJC listens to the podcast) so it was super validating. Dr Jamie O'Driscoll, a Reader of Cardiovascular Physiology at Canterbury Christ Church University, reveals how the plank is a form of isometric exercise, where muscles are held still, neither stretching nor contracting.

Mosley will try to flesh out ( no pun intended), what scientists in adjacent fields are learning about weight gain and loss. Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids.I recommend listening to this in small doses and coming back later to revisit any specific chapters that take your fancy or require a quick refresher.

Rather than suggest a radical change, Dr Mosley suggests small wins, like standing on one foot whilst brushing your teeth , get some sunlight on your skin as. And even worse, if you sit for long periods each day, you could be decreasing the benefits of any exercise you do. Becoming disillusioned by psychiatry, Mosley upon graduation joined a trainee assistant producer scheme at the BBC in 1985.

my review would have been slightly more favourable, but really you could live quite well without this book, and there is simply not enough content. Plenty of pragmatic advice in this one on how small changes to lifestyle can have big and lasting impacts to your health. It is in no way necessary to have heard the podcast to benefit from this book, but readers may wish to access it after reading this.

Furthermore, well dutifully repeating the calories in and calories out hypothesis and critiquing it somewhat, he completely failed to mention ultra process foods which seems to be a curious omission in light of Chris van Tulleken‘s new book. Green tea contains the polyphenol EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) and Professor Okello explains how this polyphenol inhibits a destructive enzyme which harms our brain cells. He trained as a doctor at the Royal Free Hospital in London before joining the BBC, where he spent three decades as a science journalist and executive producer. That said it is still a good book if you are looking for some health tips you can easily integrate into your life. I’ve already started to stand on one leg whilst brushing my teeth and doing squats/lunges whilst waiting for the kettle to boil and will be trying more of the ideas too.Each 'thing' is grouped according to the time of day Dr Mosley recommends you try the activity, although naturally they can be done at any time. The principal idea behind ‘Just One Thing’ is a simple lifestyle action which will help you feel better. A lot of the advice is common sense, but reading the science behind it is both interesting and motivating.
