In the constant back and forth of which foods are good for you and which foods are bad for you (if you’ve been keeping track, eggs are bad for you again), exercise is the one thing that seems to survive unscathed.</p> Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:03:47 +0000 Christopher Labos MD, MSc 7658 at /oss /oss/article/health/10000-steps-myth-or-fact <p>There is little doubt that sedentary behavior is <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28138134">bad for your health</a>.
