Email makes you fat
Sport England combats electronic obesity menace
By Lester Haines

Sport England health advisor Dr Dorian Dugmore told the Observer:
"We're losing millions of hours of exercise through the explosion of
email. People email colleagues who sit next to them, never mind those
who work on the other side of the office. We have to change people's
lazy attitudes."
Experts reckon that upping activity levels by 10 per cent could save
6,000 lives and, crucially, £500m a year. The Observer cites the
example of Phones 4U, where top dog John Caudwell has "banned his
2,500 staff from using email in the office". He explained: "We have
email paralysis. If you have a cancer, you have to cut it out."
So there you have it. Accordingly, don't bother to finish reading
this piece, resist the temptation to email it to a colleague and
sprint as fast as you can to the lobby where you can tell your fellow
smokers how much fitter you're feeling while puffing on a Silk Cut.
Your heart and your waistline will thank you for it. ®
