If you’re looking for another reason to jumpstart your New Year’s resolution to exercise more, here it is: Working out may decrease your cancer risk., researchers found that exercise is linked to a lower risk of developing seven types of cancer. These include colon, breast, kidney, myeloma, and liver cancer, as well as non-Hodgkin lymphoma and endometrial cancer.
The study was conducted by the American Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Researchers combed through data from nine different surveys of more than 750,000 adults from the United States, Australia and Europe. Volunteers in these studies were asked about their leisure-time physical activity, and the team checked in with participants over the next 10 years to see if they had been diagnosed with one of 15 types of cancer they had listed.
They found that participants who received between 2.5 to 5 hours of moderate exercise a week, or up to 2.5 hours of vigorous activity, had a lower risk of developing seven of those 15 types of cancer. Men were found to have up to a 14 percent reduced risk of colon cancer, and women had a 10 percent lower risk for breast cancer.
