Easy Ways To Live Well

Hugh and Steph challenge one community to test out easy solutions for their compulsive snacking. Helping them sift through the maze of scientific research is Dr Zoe Williams, who will be helping them find smart and surprising ways of tackling their health concerns.

Hugh and Steph are up in the Wirral to meet a group of workers at a local garden centre who struggle with daily aches and pains. Like around half the UK population, these folks spend their days on their feet. And like many people, the first sign of a twinge is the cue to pop an overthe-counter painkiller.

Hugh and Steph want to tackle something that's been described as a `global epidemic' and `as dangerous as smoking': sedentary behaviour. Over 15 million people spend half their days at a desk, in cars or on the sofa. It might seem harmless but over 6 hours of prolonged sitting increases the risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer.
