\r\n \r\n Darn! What will they think of next? Isn\'t there a pill for that? Recess was not my favorite elementary school subject, and physical ed was not my favorite high school subject. One of the health newsletter doctors brags about lack of exercise. The same one that says there is no need for water. Maybe I should subscribe.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Hold your horses, Jim. There\'s something to this!
\n
\nHealthy diet with regular exercise would make a monumental improvement in each nation\'s health.
\nEven something as basic as walking can make a significant difference

\n
\nThere are a couple of studies that have linked exercise (brisk walking/running) with a reduction in cancer risk. I\'m presuming this must have, predominantly, something to do with the exertion forcing increased oxygen through the system.
\n
\nEither way, we all need to get more exercise. This particular message has been timed to impact on public consciousness here as everyone is gearing up for the Olympics. If people decide to take up some form of sport, or even just a daily walk, all the better.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I must say I dont find it hard to believe. At my school there were always people finding some excuse not to do phys Ed, not because they didnt like the sport or were feeling ill, but because they\'d just rather sit on the side texting their friends or on facebook. Definitely think the growth of technology is the reason why many people put of exercising or claim to not have enough time.
\nI\'m in full time education and have 2 part time jobs on the side and admittedly I dont exercise everyday but I definitely dont consider myself to be unfit!\r\n

\r\n \r\n Well, I know that when I sit around a lot, (I do it at work and at home... yay me)... by the end of the week I certainly feel sluggish (not taking into account any bad food I ate either, but I have a point to this...)
\n
\nNow, when I take the time to do brisk aerobics for 15/20 minutes or go for a bike ride (which is something I can now do with my 6 year old son and I am loving the time with him, since bike riding has always been a favorite of mine as a child), I DEFINITELY feel better that night and the next day.
\n
\nI just feel like my systems are all working better (digestive, circulatory, respiratory). The big problem with me is, I get a stretch of commitment, but then I lose interest. It\'s only after a couple of weeks of being sedentary that I realize I need to start being active again.\r\n
