Physical activity has many health benefits, ranging from reducing the risk of heart disease #diabetes and #cancer to improving mental #health and mood. Drs. Cooper and Luke have been studying the link between physical activity and obesity for years. When they started their research, they assumed that physical activity would prove key to losing #weight. But the preponderance of evidence has shown that assumption to be wrong. If you increase your activity, your #appetite increases and you compensate by eating more food. So with or without increasing physical activity, calorie control remains key to losing or maintaining weight. #WingsBariatrics #nLightenClub
