STUDY: INACTIVITY MORE DANGEROUS THAN OBESITY

A lack of exercise is more dangerous and fatal in Europe than obesity, according to a new report.

University of Cambridge researchers say a 12 year study of more than 300 000 people says twice as many people could be dying because of inactivity as do from being overweight.

The report's authors say twenty minutes of brisk walking a day would have substantial benefits - even for those significantly overweight.

Professor Nick Wareham is the author of the report - he says activity needs to be made more easy.

IN: "I think...
OUT: ...easier."
