The sedentary lifestyle, lack of sunlight exposure, and excessive screen time are taking a toll on our bodies' ability to function optimally. While different economic eras have always influenced body demands, the increasing dependence on technology and prolonged sitting is contributing to a long-term health crisis that will affect us for years to come.
