Physical exercises can not completely neutralize the harm caused to health by being overweight. This conclusion was made by researchers from Harvard University.

As shown by their studies, the likelihood of premature death for a person suffering from excess weight and while trying to "dump" it with the help of physical exercises, is still higher than for a healthy.

Although the sport still brings a certain benefit. So, for example, as scientists have shown, if an overweight person does sports less than 3. 5 hours a week, the probability of his premature death increases by 142%, and if he gives sports more than 3. 5 hours a week - 91%.
