"The public have been urged to have an active festive break, by going for a walk on Christmas Day to burn off the calories consumed during lunch.Traveling a mile on foot burns an average of 100 Calories.
The typical Christmas menu of turkey and pudding adds up to 1,500 calories - half of a man's recommended daily intake and three-quarters of a woman's.
The government urged people to take to the streets, fields and beaches and take a stroll after eating."
To burn off the 1500 Calories, which is a low estimate compared to the number of Calories people allegedly add to their bodies over the holidays, one has to walk 15 miles.
Good luck with that stroll.
Pack a lunch.
