Exercise and Diet: The Unmentionable Truth
Abstract
The viewpoint recently published on JAMA: “Exercise Is Medicine: At Any Dose?” should open a discussion similar to that summarized by “The big fat truth” published on Nature (2013). The tendency to give messages aimed to promote “healthy lifestyle behaviours”, such as dietetic restrictions and exercise, could generate a population with commitment to general wellness, but at risk of eating disorders and over training syndrome.
