A British family doctors’ conference said GPs should set an example for their patients in healthy behavior.
According to British experts, doctors should be encouraged to go to work on bicycles, for example, or on foot, to improve their health and reduce congestion.
Dr Andrew Boyd, of the Royal College of General Practitioners, says patients very much follow doctors, but only 40 percent of doctors follow recommendations for physical activity.
According to experts, health care providers must exercise what they preach, whether in motor activity, healthy eating, or abstaining from smoking.
