Recession Burnout As Stressed Out Workers Shun Exercise And Healthy Eating, UK

Excusinators working overtime.

"THE economic downturn is having a detrimental effect on the health, fitness and wellbeing of the nation, according to a new survey released today by Cancer Research UK to launch its Run 10k series.

The findings reveal that a quarter of people (25 per cent) are spending more hours at work compared to this time last year and over half of those that are currently working (56 per cent) admit that work affects the level of exercise they do. Worryingly, a quarter of those currently working (26 per cent) admit they don't regularly exercise."

It is not the "economic downturn."

It is eating too many Calories.

This excuse, not enough time to exercise, is pure bulls**t.

There is no more inefficient way to control weight than exercise.

To use exercise as a primary means to control weight, there will never be enough time for most people.

Especially in a culture where people admit that they would rather die than exercise.

And I am willing to wager that many of these complainers were fat before they worked more hours.

And as to the "10k," how much time will it take to prepare for that?

Stiff upper-lipped morons - bitchers and problem-exacerbators alike.

The bitchers' gripe?

"In terms of nutrition, 82 per cent of workers say that being busy at work affects their diet, with 41 per cent of workers going for speed over health when choosing food options. Four out of five (81 per cent) of all adults admit they do not get their five portions of fruit and vegetables every day."

Well, whiners, prepare food at your residence the night before and take it to work or if you choose to eat out, order vegetables.

Either way, shut up.

This alone will do you much good, since you cannot eat without opening your pieholes.
