Feb 18, 2005 -- FDA and WebMD weigh in on fitness
Clark has pretty bad eating habits, he admits. But hes always thought that he exercises enough to make up for it. Well, according to the FDA, he doesnt. The agency is now saying people need to work out 60 to 90 minutes every day. Very few people meet that requirement every day, including Clark. Just as long as you get regular exercise, you will be much healthier. So, what about food? The FDA has doubled the amount of fruits and vegetables, and increased the amount of whole grains people eat each day. The cities that need to work on these new guidelines the most are: (from 10 to 1) Columbus, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Arlington, Texas; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Fort Worth, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; San Antonio, Texas; Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas, and Detroit, Michigan. The fattest people in the United States live in Detroit, according to WebMD. The healthiest people live in (10 to 1): Sacramento; Tucson; Portland, Oregon; Boston, Seattle, Colorado Springs, Denver, Virginia Beach, San Francisco and No. 1 is Honolulu, Hawaii.
