Peruvians need sport

According to the National Institute of Health (INS), 70% of Peruvian adults between the ages of 30 and 59 are obese or overweight. The two causes of this serious figure are the lack of physical activity and the consumption of junk food.

In order to change this scenario, Dean Karnazes, considered by Time magazine as one of the greatest activists of healthy living, recommends to Peruvians that if they want to start an athletic life, they should do so with a friend because it is useful for a person to nearby share experiences with you and motivate you to continue with this new lifestyle.

That person, who will become your sports partner, will accompany you throughout the process that you live towards a life with sports. While starting this habit can be painful, the satisfaction is greater, said Dean Karnazes.
