costs simply by encouraging their employees to exercise a little bit，researchers reported on FridayThey said obese（肥胖的）employees had higher health-care costs，but lowered those expenses by exercising just a couple of times a week-without even losing any weightFeifei Wang and colleagues at the University of Michigan studied 23，500 workers at General MotorsThey estimated that getting the most sedentary（惯于久坐的）obese workers to exercise would have saved about$790，000 a year，or about 15 percent of health-care costs for the whole group.Company-widethe potential savings could reach$7 1 million per year，they reported in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental MedicineOf the whole group of workersabout 30 percent were of normal weight，45 percent were overweight（超重的），and 25 percent were obeseAnnual health-care costs averaged$2，200 for normal weight，$2，400 for the overweight，and$2，700 for obese employeesBut among workers who did no exercise，health-care costs went up by at least$0 a year，and were$3000 a year for obese employees who were sedentaryBut adding two or more days of light exerciseat least 20 minutes of exercise or work hard enough to increase heart rate and breathinglowered costs by on average$500 per employee a year，the researchers found.This indicates that physical activity behavior could reduce at least some of the harmful effects of excess body
