Lack of exercise worse for health than being obese

www.gdaguru.com today reports that an expert in sport and exercise medicine has claimed that a  lack of exercise is worse for people’s health than simply being obese. 29-05-2010

In a story from www.telegraph.co.uk Dr Richard Weiler, a specialist registrar in sport and exercise medicine, said that a lack of fitness was the root cause of more illness than body fat.
 
This ill health includes diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, mental health problems and high blood pressure, he said.

He called for public health policies to focus more on increasing physical activity and that spending huge amounts of money on treating obesity was the wrong way forward.
 
More than nine in 10 people in Britain do not take the recommended 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week.  Also, a new survey shows that one in five children say they do not get any support from their parents to play sport outside school.
