A quote from the article:

"Doing something is better than doing nothing, and doing more is better than doing less, at least up to a point. "We need numerous changes to promote more physical activity for all, including public policies, changes in the health care system, promoting activity in educational settings and work sites, and social and physical environmental changes. We need more communities where people feel comfortable walking. I believe psychologists can help develop better lifestyle change interventions to help people be more active via the Internet and other technological methods."

That says it all right there, do some activity but doing nothing is not an option. I realise that people will say they do not have the time but one must make some time for walking.

I say if you can walk for at least 15 minutes per day every day then you will be much better and if you can do 30 minutes it will really make a difference.

Of course diet will play a big part in how you feel but physical activity is very important for the body. It keeps things moving and working a bit like a car which is designed to be used and not left in the driveway.

However, try and leave the car in the driveway and do some walking!
