WARNING: A non-mobile learning style may be bad for you

In a recent study, scientists discovered that when we sit all day, "electrical activity in the muscles drops, leading to a cascade of harmful metabolic effects." Not only is extensive sitting responsible for the decrease in your levels of fitness and the increase in body fat, it might also be affecting your ability to remember. And, unfortunately, regular physical exercise doesn't seem to counterbalance the damage.

Walking, researchers discovered, influences the way memory works. An experiment compared the results of a memory test of both children and young adults when they were sitting with when they were walking. The results indicate that both age groups performed better when allowed to walk while studying for the test. The way the scientists phrase it, "walking increases your resources of energy, which you can then invest in thinking."

This is bad news to those of us whose learning style has a preference for no mobility.
