Recently I've read "The Comfort Crisis", "Exercised", and finally "Burn". All are in agreement...daily physical activity is our evolutionary norm. That is, the lack of physical activity is counter to our DNA and evolution.
Anecdotally, I run (daily, 2 to 5 miles). No ear buds, etc. Just me and the road. The sweat is good, but being able to clear my head is for me the key benefit. Some people, including myself, have aha ideas in the shower. I tend to have them when I'm on a run.
Physical activity might not be The Answer for All. That said, I cannot imagine the advantage of a lack of physical activity; the benefit from violating our history.
