incidental activity

In another declaration, Miller, the chief restructuring officer, offered a similar conclusion: “In reality, fundraising new debt was the company’s business; real estate development was an incidental activity.”

Why do we need to know more about incidental activity?

A new wearables study tracking over 25,000 people provides the best evidence yet that short bouts of incidental activity, the kind we do as part of daily living, could reduce risk of heart attack, stroke and even premature death -- but the length of activity and intensity matters.

"From walking up the stairs to speedily mopping the floors; in recent years we've come to understand that it is not just structured exercise that is good for our health, but we know very little about how these short bouts of incidental activity translate to health benefits," said the study's senior author Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre.

You already know you should exercise, but it is especially important now that a lot of incidental activity has been stripped from our daily routines.
