Are YOU doing enough?
Research released today by the Baker IDI, following patients for 12 years has revealed that people are significantly OVER estimating their levels of physical activity and UNDER estimating the amount of time they spend sitting.
That means that you may be doing less than you think.
This is BAD NEWS. Less active time and more sedentary time were clearly correlated with increased risk of obesity, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, all of which increase your risk of heart disease.
Those who developed obesity and glucose tolerance issues were 3 TIMES more likely to die in the 12 year study period.
AND being young is no immunity. The highest risk period for weight gain and waist measurement increases was 24- 35 years of age. Combined with the other statistics, these young people are setting themselves up for short, unhealthy futures.
