In Other Words

Planet Fatness

It’s an early Tuesday morning, but that’s alright because tomorrow is a free day (yeay). Decided to put up a link for your consideration, something to get the gray matta going on this day. Its a link to an article in the Washington Post called Car Drives Up Weight, Study Finds.

If we ignore the rather terrible pun, then the article is actually interesting. Basically, if you spend a lot of time driving, then you have a significantly higher chance of being obese, if, on the other hand, you spend more time walking, then you have significantly /less/ chance of being obese.

Then they spout some numbers to support it.

So, as everybody already knew, but has now been backed up (yet again) walking is good for you. Of course, the article can't help but mention that there are then some people out there that have to point out that that might not be the case at all, but rather that healthy people are more likely to walk.

That still doesn't chance, of course, that it’s healthy to walk. After all, either you're healthy because you walk or you walk because your healthy, either way, the fact that you walk points to you being healthy. tataaa!

Right, back to work, talk about something more interesting (i.e. myself (shameless!)) tomorrow.
