LONDON, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- As people prepare for a traditional Christmas meal with a host of fixings, health experts issued a report suggesting that plenty of post-dinner exercise is needed to burn off the extra calories.
Figures released by the London-based Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) on Thursday revealed that people need to walk at least four and a half hours to work off the calories of a typical Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, which contains about 1,450 calories.
But that is only the start, as mince pies, Christmas pudding, cheese, biscuits and chocolates will all add up throughout the day.
According to RSPH, the average person will consume around 6,000 calories on Christmas day alone, nearly three times the recommended daily intake for a woman and more than twice the recommended amount for a man.
The report said that a one-fourth portion of Christmas pudding with cream would take nearly two hours of ice-skating to work off; while a turkey-and-stuffing sandwich would take about 44 minutes burn away.
Sen. John McCain has emerged as President Donald Trump's top Republican nemesis on Capitol Hill.
Since Trump's inauguration cheap nike air max 90 , McCain has broken with the president on his immigration order, warned him against any rapprochement with Moscow, lectured him on the illegality of torture, and supplied only a tepid endorsement of Rex Tillerson, Trump's secretary of state nominee.
Oh, and McCain also hammered Trump for backing away from — instead of embracing — international free trade agreements.
As Trump presses ahead with an ambitious and contentious agenda at home and abroad, McCain is pushing back, using his seniority in Congress and his characteristic bluntness. McCain, 80, cruised to a sixth Senate term in November, defeating a Democratic challenger who hounded the senator for standing by Trump even after the billionaire businessman insulted him as a "loser."
Trump, who received several draft deferments during the Vietnam era, also said there was nothing heroic about McCain's military record after he was shot down during the Vietnam War and spent 5 ? years as a prisoner of war.
McCain dropped his support for Trump in early October after a 2005 recording surfaced in which Trump boasted about groping women. The move led to an outcry from conservative voters firmly behind Trump. But McCain overcame the backlash in what may have been his final election.
He hasn't looked back.
Trump's immigration order, signed by the president Friday, temporarily suspends all immigration for citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries for 90 days. McCain, along with his close friend and Senate colleague Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said they feared Trump's immigration order could "become a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism."
"This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country. That is why we fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security," McCain and Graham wrote.
That elicited an angry tweet from Trump, who accused the two of "looking to start World War III."
McCain and other senators said that Trump's order, unless amended, would ban Iraqi pilots from coming to the United States for training so they can join the fight against the Islamic State. The travel ban could also affect Iraqis who worked with the U.S.-led coalition and, after lengthy reviews, received special immigrant visas to enter the U.S., according to the lawmakers.
