The bad is that even

a few days of consuming

thousands more

kilojoules than you’re

burning (aka Christmas)

has detrimental health

impacts. After just one

week of overeating,

people show poor blood

sugar control and their

fat cells express genes

that lead to unhealthy

metabolic changes. The

good: daily exercise

counters this effect, not

only helping to reduce

the energy surplus, but

delivering big health

bennies. “Our research

demonstrates that

even a short period of

overconsumption and

reduced physical activity

leads to very profound

negative changes in a

variety of physiological

systems–butadailybout

of exercise stops most of

these negative changes

from taking place,” says

Jean-Philippe Walhin,

a co-author of the study.
