CBC News - Health - Walk, cycle to fight obesity: study

"People who walk or cycle for transport tend to be slimmer than those who rely on a car to get around, according to a new study of 15 countries.

The study looked at the relationship between 'active travel' — bicycling or walking instead of driving — and physical activity, obesity and Type 2 diabetes."

This is why the Ontario Trails Council is linked to the Ministry of Health Promotion, we appreciate CBC getting our message out!
