Doctors don't exercise enough either: survey

From the Do As I Say, Not As I Do Department.

"When it comes to exercise, many doctors may need to start practicing what they preach, a survey of young UK physicians suggests.

In fact, researchers found, the 61 junior doctors they surveyed were less likely to get regular, moderate exercise than other Britons their age.

National studies have estimated that about 44 percent of UK adults between the ages of 25 and 34 meet experts' general recommendations on exercise -- at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, like brisk walking, five times per week. In this study, only 21 percent of junior doctors met that goal."

This offers one reason why the diet and "exercise" advice of Big Sick Care and the experts is so crappy.

They cannot speak from experience.
