Well, but how many actually do physical exercise? It is a minority, right? Car or coach to work, sit down by a computer screen, car or coach home, very little time for physical exercise.
There are obvious health benefits from physical exercise, e g influencing insulin resistance, lowering LDL and raising HDL, lowering diastolic blood pressure and pulse, raising tolerance to stress ... but it is very hard to motivate people to do it.
