Move often, No sedantary life

Being overweight and physically inactive accounts for more than 300,000 premature deaths annually in the United States, second only to deaths related to smoking.

A study done at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas found that a 50-year-old could be brought back to the fitness levels of a 20-year-old with just 6 months of exercise training.


This is because exercise elevates the whole body’s metabolism and burns the most calories from our body. Thus movement can help us live longer and have a trim and fit body. And so if you want to have these, you have to move, and move often as well.
