Health Tip: Exercise to Prevent and Treat Cancer

By rjoachim | August 1, 2022
Sit less.  Get up and move for at least one to two minutes every hour that you are awake. Extended periods of sitting increase your cancer risk, even if you exercise regularly. Sitting too much also increases your risk for obesity, which leads to cancer and other chronic diseases. 
Schedule exercise. Plan where, when and how you will exercise. And build up gradually. 
The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes vigorous exercise each week. It’s best to do a combination of both, and you don’t have to do it all at one time. You can split up your activity into short intervals of as little as 10 minutes.
