A case of lazyitis? Not bothering to exercise should be treated as a medical condition?

A case of lazyitis? Not bothering to exercise ¿should be treated as a medical condition¿ | Mail Online
Dr Joyner said: 'I would argue that physical inactivity is the root cause of many of the common problems that we have.
'If we were to medicalise it, we could then develop a way, just like we've done for addiction, cigarettes and other things, to give people treatments, and lifelong treatments, that focus on behavioral modifications and physical activity.
'Then we can take public health measures, like we did for smoking, drunken driving and other things, to limit physical inactivity and promote physical activity.'
