Healthy habits, leaner countries

| | Comments (1)


A study (yes, this is an entry about ANOTHER health study), shows a like between active transportation" and less obesity in 17 industrialized countries across Europe, North America and Australia.

The translation: If you walk, ride a bike or use public transportation, your country is leaner.

I found this next part to be just shocking! (Ok, not really - I can totally believe this.)

"Americans, with the highest rate of obesity, were the least likely to walk, cycle or take mass transit, according to the study in a recent issue of the Journal of Physical Activity and Health," the article states.

So, what can we do?

Take the train.

Walk to work.

Get a bike.

If other countries can do it, we can do, right?

This is absolutely correct and sensible.The more we work harder, the lesser are the chances of obesity.When there is no least physical work,the probability for diseases also increase.This is 100% correct.
