“Moving Target” Secret Slashes Cancer Risk 69%
Some things are pretty obvious when it comes to health risks.
Want to lose weight and avoid obesity? Cut out the carbs, focus on protein, and eat plenty of seasonal foods that come from the earth.
You’ll be slashing your diabetes risk at the same time.
But cancer? Well, that’s a whole different story.
Cancer risk can be affected by many different factors including genetics, environmental exposures, weight, and more.
Frankly, it can feel overwhelming sometimes.
But it turns out there’s one surefire way to reduce your cancer risk.
In fact, researchers at the National Cancer Institute say focusing on this “moving target” could lower your cancer risk by nearly 70 percent.
It turns out that one of the best ways to dramatically reduce your cancer risk is to get off the couch and get moving.
Researchers from the National Cancer Institute found that regular exercise (something we should all be doing anyway) was linked to an incredible 69 percent reduction in cancer risk.
Specifically, higher levels of daily activity were linked to a lower risk of the following cancers:
- Breast
- Colon
- Esophageal
- Bladder
- Kidney
- Stomach
- Endometrial
There are plenty of reasons why moving MORE could mean LESS cancer risk.
For example, animal studies have found that exercise boosts the immune system’s ability to target cancer cells.
And, of course, when we’re more active we have less risk of being overweight or obese. And that ALONE could dramatically reduce cancer risk.
But regardless of the reason why, it’s clear that exercise IS a key cancer-fighting strategy that you can start putting into practice TODAY.
And unlike pharmaceutical drugs, the only side effects you’ll experience are a better mood, less stress, and more energy.
So get up and make a move!
P.S. An alarming study has spotted one of the most notorious cancer-causing chemicals in 80 percent of the urine samples they tested. Fortunately, you can take steps to avoid this poison and stay safely in the 20 percent. Click here to discover how.
