- Authors
Green, Daniel J.; Malorana, Andrew J.
- Abstract
The article discusses five reasons why exercise is an important component of risk reduction in obesity management. It references the article "Why is Treating Obesity So Difficult? Justification for the Role of Bariatric Surgery," by J. Proietto in a 2011 issue that claims that it is too late to reverse once people are obese and that exercise and diet are ineffective. It stresses that exercise should be prescribed because it is good for the body whether one loses weight or not.
