Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport – in the Senedd at 3:09 pm on 5 October 2016.
Thank you for that answer, Minister. Of course, as I’ve mentioned already in the committee, being fit means a reduction in your blood pressure of about 30 per cent, a reduction in blood sugar levels of about 30 per cent, a reduction in your cholesterol level of about 30 per cent and weight loss of about 30 per cent as well. Now, there is no tablet on the face of the earth that can compete with those figures. So, could you emphasise how easy it is in terms of fitness? A lot of people—what stops them is thinking, ‘Oh, I have to buy some expensive gym membership somewhere and I have to buy the specialist equipment and clothes and so forth’. It’s about walking 10,000 steps a day. Could you emphasise how easy it is, essentially, to be fit? Thank you.
