Every two hours that women spend watching TV, they add therisk of gaining weight by 23%. Moreover, they increased their riskof getting diabetes by 14%. Also, it was found out that individualswho spent most of their times sitting had increased risk ofobesity. Therefore, when planning out the day it would bebeneficial if you put some physical activity in it, as with thepassage of time, inactivity will turn into a habit which will onlyhave adverse effects on you.

The case for exercise is thus very strong,and decades worth of solid science confirms that adding just asmuch as half an hour worth of exercise daily can improve yourlifestyle.
