A new University of Sydney has bad news for anyone who thinks vigorous exercise can compensate for a diet that favours junk food over fruit and veg.
There is bad news for anyone who thinks vigorous exercise can compensate for a diet that favours junk food over fruit and veg.The study found people who were highly active with a high-quality diet had the lowest risk of death
The study found people who had high levels of physical activity as well as a high-quality diet had the lowest risk of death, showing you can not outrun a poor diet. For those who had high levels of physical activity as well as a high-quality diet, their mortality risk was reduced by 17 per cent from all causes, 19 per cent from cardiovascular disease and 27 per cent from selected cancers — compared with those with the worst diet who were physically inactive.
"Some people may think they could offset the impacts of a poor diet with high levels of exercise or offset the impacts of low physical activity with a high-quality diet, but the data shows that unfortunately, this is not the case," Dr Ding said.
