Fitness and Health

In my spare time I don't watch TV, play video games, or read books. I am either exercising or reading Men's health. I love keeping active because it makes me feel great and is fun. However, the more I read about how many health benefits there are to exercising, it baffles me why some people still refuse to exercise. One statistic that popped out at me in Men's Health was:

"Men who are physically weak (or do not exercise) have a 47% higher risk of dying of cancer than strong men have- says U.S. and European scientists" (Men's Health Magazine)

I could write for pages and pages all the benefits of exercise and eating healthy can have on our bodies. I think it is very interesting as well as motivating to myself. I think it would be very beneficial to society if there was a way to inform everyone about such health benefits to living a healthy lifestyle. Either through required classes through school or through mandatory programs through work. This could potentially have a huge positive impact on our world and the people living in it.
