Your Daily Workout can Decrease Your Risk of Cancer



A Finnish study with 2, 560 men aged between 42-62 followed for an average of 16 years. Found that those who did moderate to intense activity for 30 min per day had 50% less chance of developing cancer. 

Another great reason to get 30 min of activity every day.

I personally like to go for a walk everyday and do stretching while playing with Jasmine on the floor, and recently she is starting to dance, so I will be dancing with her!

  4. Hi Rebecca! I have NO excuse not to exercise - my husband takes our one dog out every night for a jog/walk and he said he'd go as slow or as fast as I want him to so I can keep up. Why can't I decrease my risk of cancer by eating Oreos???? I want that diet!! :) You take care ~

  7. Our bodies were meant to move. Muscles need oxygen and get it from exercise. If you don't develop this habit early on, it is much harder later in life to start. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
