EXERCISE CUTS CANCER RISK
A study published in the British Journal of Cancer showed that men who exercised often were less likely to die from cancer than those who did not. The study was based on the effect of physical activity and cancer risk in 40,708 men aged between 45 and 79. Over the seven-year period of the study, 3,714 men developed cancer and 1,153 died. Men who walked or cycled for at least 30 minutes daily increased survival from cancer with 33 percent, compared to those who exercised less or did nothing at all. Researchers also found that a more extensive programme of walking and cycling between 60 and 90 minutes daily led to a l6 percent lower incidence of cancer.
