#WALKING🚶♂️ CAN HALF THE INFLUENCE OF GENES ON #OBESITY
❎ Watching too much television📺 can worsen your genetic tendency towards obesity,
✅ But you can cut the effect in half if you walk briskly for an hour a day🚶♂️⌚, report researchers at the sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/…

🤓 Each gene that increases BMI 👉 was associated with 0.13 kilograms/square meter (kg/m 2 ) in BMI.
🚴♂️ The highest level of physical activity significantly reduced Obese genes 👉 reducing BMI 👉 comparing 0.08 vs. 0.15 kg/m 2

📺The genetic effect on BMI was more pronounced in people who spent 40 hours (0.34 kg/m 2) a week watching television compared to those who spent an hour or less (0.08 kg/m 2)
🚶♂️The equivalent of brisk walking for one hour per day was associated with a 0.06 kg/m 2

reduction in the genetic effect on BMI 📺📺 and each 2-hour increase per day in which watching television was associated with a 0.03 kg/m 2 increase in the genetic effect on BMI.
