It's not a big leap from inactivity to cardiovascular disease, though.

Or diabetes.

Or a host of other diseases for which exercise is an often recommended preventative measure.

I didn't say inactivity was healthy, just the post you were responding to gave no indication that the poster was overweight, just inactive. And diabetes is related to weight, not activity.

It's related to both, actually, though primarily diet.
