Human beings have always moved for what they need until recently.

Here Bowman widens her there is more to movement than exercise message presented in Move Your DNA and invites us to consider this idea: human movement is a part of the ecosystem.Movement Matters explores how we make ourselves, our communities, and our planet healthier all at the same time by moving our bodies more-as well as:How did we become so sedentary? (Hint: Convenience often saves us movement, not time.)the missing movement nutrients in our foodhow to include more nature in educationwhy ecosystem models need to include human movementthe human need for Vitamin Community and group movement
