A single habit can significantly reduce cancer risk, according to new research. Scientists analyzed 196 studies and found that even half the recommended amount of weekly physical activity yields substantial health benefits. Just 10 minutes of daily moderate activity can lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 17% and certain cancers, including head and neck, blood, and bone marrow cancers, by 14% to 26%. Lung, bowel, uterine, and breast cancer risks may decrease by 3% to 11%.
Increasing activity to the recommended 150 minutes per week further enhances these protective effects. Dr. Søren Brage stated that any physical activity is preferable to none. Moderate activity includes everyday actions like brisk walking, dancing, cycling, and playing tennis, not just traditional sports.
Beyond cancer prevention, regular exercise helps ward off other serious conditions such as obesity, stroke, diabetes, osteoarthritis, dementia, and ischemic heart disease. Even small lifestyle changes, starting with 10 minutes of daily activity and gradually increasing intensity, can lead to significant health improvements. This research comes as Israeli scientists have reportedly made a breakthrough in cancer treatment, with patients testing the world's first "computerized" antibodies developed in Israel.
