Great discussion on 'Building a healthier country from the bottom up' at @bylinefestival.bsky.social. Early mention of the importance of @michaelmarmot.bsky.social's work on social determinants of health, including impacts of poverty and poor housing on quality of life and life expectancy.

Linda Mizum: 3 steps to better health (if you can)
1. Stand up regularly during the day, don't stay seated
2. Do a squat for a minute (affects insulin resistance)
3. Skin-to-skin contact, with someone else or just yourself (oxytocin stress relief)
