Here's a wheeze...

I was shocked (ahem) to learn recently that IT workers are the UK's least healthy professionals.

A study by Fat Free Fitness Weight Loss Agency found just 19 per cent of techies meet government guidelines for weekly exercise volumes, seven per cent less than receptionists, who had the dubious honour of taking second spot.

A mere 14 per cent of IT bods get their five a day and also consume more caffeine than anyone - the equivalent to 10 daily cups of coffee.

It goes without saying that any tech-heads wishing to shape up can contact the good folk at Fat Free Fitness. The weight will drop off, I'm sure - at least from the wallet area.
