Too Much Sitting Linked to Cancer

A new study by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) found that physical inactivity might increase our risk of breast and colon cancer.

"The more physical activity you do, the lower your risk of these cancers," researchers suggest. Therefore, these types of cancer can be prevented if people get up and move.

American Cancer Society epidemiologist Alpa Patel says moderate exercise, such as aerobic, as well as avoiding prolonged periods of sitting is important to stay healthy.
