MILLIONS WASTING THEIR TIME EXERCISING: BENEFITS DETERMINED BY GENES

NZH:
Researchers have discovered that the health benefits of aerobic exercise are determined by our genes - and can vary substantially between individuals.

... 20 per cent of the population do not get any significant aerobic fitness benefit from regular exercise, according to an international study led by scientists at the University of London.

For these people, regular jogging and gym work will do little to ward off conditions like heart disease and diabetes which aerobic exercise is generally thought to resist.

Researchers say they would be better off abandoning their exercise regime and focusing on other ways of staying healthy - such as improving their diet or taking medication.

NOTHING IN LIFE IS ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

HOW CAN YOU FIND OUT IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE 1-IN-5 WHO NEEDN'T BOTHER!?
