Forget all that walking and running about to stay healthy, you're
better off hitting the sofa if you want to live to a ripe old
age.
That's pretty much the conclusion of a German health researcher
who's just published 'On The Joy of Laziness', a study which purports
to show that too much exercise can put your long term health at
risk.
He's quoted on the Reuters
site as saying: 'Research shows that people who run long
distances into their 50s are using up energy they need for other
purposes, they suffer memory loss. They risk premature senility.'
So that's all right then, put your feet up and live the rest of
your life as a vegetable.
