You guessed it. Yes. There's a positive correlation between exercise and a reduced cancer rate. A large body of research has been accumulated in this area. Dr. Friedenreich has reviewed numerous papers in the European Journal of Cancer (2010) and concluded that physical activity decreases the chance of acquiring cancer by 25 per cent. We're talking all kinds - colon, breast, endometrial (uterine), lung, prostate and "possibly" ovarian. It was determined that in Europe, if people exercised more, as many as 330,000 new cases of cancer could have been prevented in 2008 alone.
Still no time to exercise?
