This is a consequence of the standard inequalities on the "mixed"intrinsic volumes" (or "quermaß integrals", the two are synonymous up to a constant) of convex sets: for every $i$, the $i$-th mixedintrinsic volume $V_i(K)$ of a convex set is monotone in $K$, and for a $d$-dimensional convex set, $V_{d-1}(K)$ is twice the $(d-1)$-dimensional surface area of $K$ (while $V_d(K)$ is the $d$-dimensional volume; the quick definition in general is that $V_i(K)$ is the coefficient of $r^{d-i}$ in the polynomial giving the volume of the distance $r$ ball $K+B(0,r)$ around $K$, divided by the volume of $B(0,1)$ in dimension $d-i$).
