In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations UNESCO and National Geographic among them have for many years been
28、documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.

36、 is shockingly bad for you. It has been described as the new smoking, linked to heart disease and even cancer. There is no doubt we should all try to do less of it. But perhaps we could also do it better.A classic survey, published in 1953, described 100 different sitting postures adopted by 480 cul

40、s found that kneeling can help keep the spine in a better position as does squatting. We might also take inspiration from traditional cultures like the Hadza. Use a variety of postures and preferably not just still postures but some which allow movement, says Bettany-Saltikov.Bettany-Saltikov believ
41、es that we should be rethinking what it means to do a desk job. We still need to design workplaces that enable people to be productive while being lightly active, like with under-table cycling or walking desks, she says.
