"It suddenly dawned on me how little activity I get every day," Miller, from Orlando, Florida, tells TODAY.com. "I end up working overtime, so I was sitting a lot. I definitely put on some pounds, and I was concerned about it for health reasons." Miller, who raised her granddaughter, worried about developing high blood pressure and how it could impact her longevity. She understood she needed to become more active and found a study that aimed to encourage people to walk 1,000 steps more than their norm. She decided to participate. What is micro-walking?

Research shows healthy cooking oils like avocado and olive oil offer a range benefits, from improving heart health to, yes, reducing cancer risk. But seed oils in particular, such as canola, corn and sunflower, are often vilified — though it's worth noting many leading health organizations and experts say they're healthy to consume in moderation.
