Doing THIS Sends Cancer Risk SOARING
Plenty of things in this world can increase your risk of cancer.
Smoking, obesity, and exposure to chemicals are three that top the list. The common denominator between risk factors like these is that they’re AVOIDABLE.
In fact, it’s estimated that about 50 percent of cancer cases are potentially preventable.
Case in point: A recent study found that folks who fall into THIS one common category have a 60 percent high risk of cancer.
The good news? There’s something you can do about it.
You can’t erase cancer risk factors like age or family history.
But there’s another common risk you CAN influence. And that’s your sleep.
Science shows that to reduce your cancer risk, you should prioritize quality sleep.
Researchers analyzed data from nearly 15,000 people over 45 to evaluate the connection between overnight sleep, daytime napping, and total sleep duration.
They found that folks who slept less than seven hours total daily had a 69 percent higher risk of developing cancer than those who slept for 7 to 8 hours total.
In addition, people who didn’t nap had a 60 percent higher risk of cancer than those who power napped for more than one hour during the day.
Those who slept less than 6 hours per night also had an increased risk.
The bottom line is not getting enough sleep is associated with a significant increase in cancer risk.
This could have BIG consequences for the 1 in 3 adults that regularly don’t get enough shuteye.
Studies like these don’t ask why. But chances are it boils down to circadian rhythm disruptions, impaired immune function, and decreased melatonin levels.
All of these factors are connected to not getting enough sleep, and they may also promote the formation of tumors.
Cancer continues to top the charts for a leading cause of death in the USA. But when you prioritize sleep, you could SLASH your own risk of this devastating disease.
