SMOKING and lazy sport, Which is more dangerous? According to medical experts, both are equally dangerous.
Less movement can cause health problems as dangerous as smoking.
Harvard researchers say, 1 in 10 people died, or equal to 57 million deaths worldwide each year. These deaths are caused by complications of the disease that is exacerbated by poor lifestyle and tend to be a couch potato.
Couch potato is a term for people who spend more time watching TV while snacking and lounging. This habit is common among housewives, retirees, or young people who are less active.
It may come as a surprise but being lazy has been linked to as many deaths as smoking across the world according to a new study. Researchers estimated that a third of adults are not doing enough physical activity, which as a result caused 5.3m deaths a year. Put in perspective, that's around one in 10 deaths from diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and breast and colon cancer. It is recommended that adults perform two and a half hours of moderate exercise each week. Moderate exercise consists of activities such as relatively fast walking, gardening or cycling.
"Although the world will be watching elite athletes from many countries compete in sporting events... most spectators will be quite inactive. "The global challenge is clear - make physical activity a public health priority throughout the world to improve health and reduce the burden of disease."
