Can someone exercise regularly and still be considered pretty inactive? How?
YES THEY CAN. Because they workout once a day but if they just sit and do nothing the rest of the day then they can be inactive. THey need to workout and move throughout the day multiple times to not be considered inactive
If we exercise, do we need to make sure we don’t spend too much time being inactive? How and Why?
YES WE DO because if we only workout for 45min in the day then we are still being super inactive during the day and aren’t considered active and can still get the bad diseases. BUT if we work out throughout the day multiple times a day (even walking) then we will be chillin
If we exercise, are regularly-active, sleep appropriately, and eat good food, may we be healthier than our genomes alone would predict? How?
YES WE WILL because the gene has a lot of flexibility so if we do these things stated then we can beat the gene and make them flexible and not be obese and be healthy
