Exercise is good for many things, an
d one them is weight loss, but researchers at the City University of New York are convinced that it’s not as good for weight loss as many people think it is. HealthDay reports on the research, which measured the activity levels and calories burned for 332 adults for one week. The researchers found that people with moderate activity levels burned more daily calories than sedentary people did — an extra 200 per day, on average, but they also found that more intense activity didn’t necessarily burn more calories. Yes, it’s strange. The researchers suggest that our bodies adapt to more or less exercise. They cite a study of the Hazda– traditional hunter-gatherers in Tanzania who are extremely active, everyday, yet appear to burn the same amount of calories that typical Americans do. They believe their recent study suggest that there is a point at which the daily calorie burn from exercise leveled off– and that point is walking a couple of miles a day.
