Don’t be dim, get slim
According to the South East Public Health Conservatory (SEPHO), only 35% of Thames Valley men undertake five half-hour sessions of moderate exercise per week. Women are less active, with 24% achieving the recommended amount.
Furthermore, SEPHO found that adult obesity in the Thames Valley had risen to 18.9% of the population over 2000-2002 from 16.9% between 1994 and 1996.
These are worrying statistics. They tell me that, yes, size does matter, and it’s a burden we can do without.
