35、ter, Dr. Michaela Axt-Gadermann, a GP, say that everybody has a limited amount of “life energy“ and that the speed with which it is consumed determines their life span.They argue that high-energy activities, such as pounding the treadmill at the gym, accelerates the aging process and makes the body

36、more susceptible to illness. “A more relaxed way of life is important for your health,“said Dr. Axt-Gadermann. “If you lead a stressful life and exercise excessively, your body produces hormones which lead to high blood pressure and can damage your heart and arteries.“Dr. Axt-Gadermann said that one

37、 key difference between the lazy and those who exercise was that the more active body produces. more “free radicals“-unstable oxygen molecules that are believed to speed the aging process.

Basically, laughing is a good training session without the negative side-effects.“To illustrate the theory that laziness equals longevity, The Joy of Laziness also suggests that early risers are more prone to stress and

41、 that late sleepers live longer because they conserve their energy. “People who would rather laze in a hammock instead of running a marathon, or who take a nap instead of playing squash, have a better chance of living into old age.“The Joy of Laziness, which is published soon, will be essential read

44、l. Dr. Vivienne Nathanson, the head of science and ethics at the British Medical Association, said that moderate exercise should not be set aside in favour of lazing around. “It is a very tempting theory as so often, many of us feel that we cannot be bothered with exercise, “ she said. “However, I w

45、ould not agree that people have a set amount of expendable energy during a lifetime and that exercise is bad for you. In fact, done sensibly, exercise lowers the blood pressure, improves your metabolic state and can improve health and contribute to a longer life. “Dr. Graham Archard, the vice chairm
