Reading yesterday’s Guardian there is an article which gives
us all a great incentive to keep active.
According to scientists, (published by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer) of the 78,935 people diagnosed with bowel, breast and womb
cancers in 2012 about 12,000 could have been prevented if people were more
physically active.
Dr Rachel Thompson, head of research interpretation at the
World Cancer Research Fund, tells us that the relationship is not only to
physical inactivity but also to excess body fats.
Only 36% of women meet the government’s targets of at least
30 mins physical activity 5 times a week.
Come on everyone, yet more evidence that moving a bit makes a
difference. Build exercise into your
daily life – research shows that it can help prevent cancer. Our sedentary lifestyle is making us ill –
get up and get going !! Join the gym – find 30 minutes 5 times a week – it
could save your life.
