Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What [b]can't you be bothered[/b]to do?
[p=21, 2, left]A [b]study[/b] into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so [b]idle[/b] they'd catch the lift rather than climb two [b]flights of stairs[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]Just over 2000 people were [b]quizzed[/b] by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity. The results were [b]startling[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]About one in six people [b]surveyed[/b] said if their [b]remote control[/b] was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.[/p][p=21, 2, left]More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 [b]respondents[/b] with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.[/p][p=21, 2, left]This led the report to conclude that [b]it's no wonder that[/b] one in six children in the UK are [b]classified[/b] as [b]obese[/b] before they start school.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but [b]for the sake[/b] of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.[/p][p=21, 2, left]"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole [b]generation[/b] will become too unfit to perform even the most [b]rudimentary[/b] of tasks."[/p][p=21, 2, left]And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was [b][url=http://d.24en.com/s/?wd=sham]sham[/url]ed[/b] as the most [b]indolent[/b]city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The results [b]pose serious challenges[/b] for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.[/p][/size][/font][/color]
