HEALTH MATTERS
FIT OR FAT?
The cheerful Mr Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens, is always shown in illustrations as someone who is plump - and happy. He is also one of Dickenstasks wittiest creations. But nowadays being overweight no longer has such positive connotations. 1 __
However doctors are worried that despite these dangers, more and more British people are seriously overweight. What’s worse, the number of children who are overweight before they reach their teens is growing rapidly. 2 __
Going on a diet seems the obvious answer, but is it? Not according to England’s chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. 3 __ And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that not being active is as dangerous for your heart as smoking.
So, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? According to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms ‘are not making the nation fit.’ And experts at the Health Development Agency believe that physical activity that fits into peopletasks lives may be more effective. 4 __ Indeed, there’s new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be dangerous. 5 __ The only people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trailed athletes.
One final thought. How come people in the past didntaskt have gym facilities and yet were leaner and fitter than people today?
