DESCRIPTION: What role has inactivity played in the obesity epidemic and how much should we be exercising?

I previously touched on this in my video Diet or Exercise, What's More Important For Weight Loss? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-or-exercise-whats-more-important-for-weight-loss/)

Don't get me wrong--exercise is wonderful! Check out, for example:

• What Women Should Eat to Live Longer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-women-should-eat-to-live-longer/)
• Halving Heart Attack Risk (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/halving-heart-attack-risk/)
• Exercise and Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/exercise-breast-cancer/)
• Reversing Cognitive Decline (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reversing-cognitive-decline/)

Best to stick to foods rich in nutrients but poor in calories: Calculate Your Healthy Eating Score (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/calculate-your-healthy-eating-score/). It's cheaper too, see Best Nutrition Bang For Your Buck (http://nutritionfacts.org/2013/11/26/best-nutrition-bang-for-your-buck/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-exercise-to-sustain-weight-loss/ and he'll try to answer it!
