This week the British Heart Foundation launches "On Your Feet Britain", a campaign to encourage office workers to simply stand up more regularly, walk around, and embrace ideas such as standing meetings, standing desks, or taking a lunchtime stroll.

A BHF survey found nearly half of British women and one-third of men now spend less than 30 minutes a day on their feet at work, within a labor force that continues to move away from its manufacturing past toward a desk-bound, screen-gazing future.

The health effects of that ongoing shift are being worsened by national eating habits which continue to be dominated by an obsession for prepackaged, preservative-heavy, processed foods, often high in salt, protein and calories.
