A new study suggests that getting just the recommended amount of physical activity is linked to reduced risk of seven types of cancer.
Exercise has proven to be good at slightly different things from what was once thought. It may not be the magic bullet for weight loss people hoped it was, for instance, but it does seem to do other amazing things—like prompt the brain to grow new neurons and reduce the risk of serious and chronic health problems. In recent years, in fact, a number of studies have found that the more one exercises , the lower his or her risk of multiple types of cancer.
The researchers, from a number of institutions around the world, including the National Cancer Institute, Karolinska Institutet, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, analyzed data from some 750,000 participants over a period of more than 10 years. The participants all reported on a number of variables, including the amount of physical activity they got in their leisure time. The researchers correlated this to the participants’ risk of developing cancer over the years.
The team found that people who got in this range had a reduced risk for seven types of cancer: in men, but not women, a lower risk of colon cancer ; in women, lower risk of breast cancer , endometrial cancer , and non-Hodgkin lymphoma . Both sexes had reduced risk of kidney cancer , myeloma , and liver cancer .
