I agree that us human beings need to exercise every day. We are the same as any animal and our bodies benefit from being kept in tip top condition. We did not evolve for being sedentry, the opposite in fact, and it is only relatively recently in the history of our existence that we have become increasingly inactive.
I also wonder what population the Tiawanese study looked at and the age group. Assuming it is of the Tiawanese population then I wonder if they are a healthier lot than people on average in the UK and so maybe these results are skewed. I think that perhaps the diet would be healthier so the incidences of cancers might be lower than in the West.
Whatever the differences, there is ample evidence to illustrate the fact that exercise is necessary for everyone and is beneficial.
