Being physically active is crucial to good health. If a medication existed that had a similar effect on preventing disease it would be hailed as a miracle cure

Research in the United States in the 1990's - and now supported from work across the world - suggests being 'fat and fit' is associated with a lower incidence of chronic disease than being 'thin and unfit'...So, even if you are a normal weight you are only protected against chronic disease if you are physically active

Good stuff, Sir Knight!
Isn't it unfortunate how many health problems could be avoided if people would stay physically active!
