I have a consistent two word answer to these"studies."

JIM FIXX

And besides, stepping in front of an oncoming bus is bad for your health, too. As is being at the wrong intersection when some punk who just stole a car blows through a stop sign. And no amount of healthy eating is going to help you, then.

Jim Fixx is a good punchline for jokes. But the facts of the case actually say exercise is good. Before he started jogging he was a 3 pack a day guy, and there was a family history of heart problems. He quit smoking, he dropped a bunch of weight, and even though he died young he was the longest lived male in his family for 3 generations.

As for Jim Fixx, genetics was stacked against him. Even though he died at a young age, he still outlived his siblings by a considerable margin.
