How long does it take to burn off 2 glasses of wine? Half an hour of Olympic kayaking: Alarming graphics reveal why so many of us are piling on the pounds
Two glasses of wine contain 437 calories, while two slices of pepperoni pizza contain 420. A person weighing 11st (around 70kg) would need to more than 30 mins of Olympic kayaking or cycling in order to burn off these foods (top left and bottom right), graphics created by online doctor service Treated.com show.
A steak and kidney pie may be flavoursome, but it contains 465 calories, which would take 30 minutes of running - at a speed of 6.5 minute miles (top right). And just four chocolate digestive biscuits contain 343 calories, which would take half an hour of fast swimming to burn off (bottom right). The images come after a report released today show most of us are woefully inactive - with polls suggesting that 44 per cent of people in Britain do no regular exercise at all.
