How a 'miracle pill' can help you live a longer, healthy-ish life

The “miracle pill”. What is it? Well, you’ll have to listen to this episode to find out. It’s also the title of a new book by UK investigative journalist, Peter Walker. His bug bear: our world of screens, rideshare apps and food delivery services have all but removed the need for significant movement in day-to-day life. Host Felicity Harley and Walker discuss his investigation into how a pandemic of inactivity - exacerbated by COVID-19 lockdowns - is causing the early deaths of five million people a year. BUT this so-called "miracle pill" can help you live a longer, healthy-ish life.   Peter Walker’s book, The Miracle Pill ($32.99, published by Simon & Schuster), is available here.    Follow us on Instagram at @bodyandsoul_au Or, head to bodyandsoul.com.au for your daily digital dose of health and wellness.
