ONE Change Slashes Risk of NINE Cancers
It’s one little word. But the fear it strikes in your heart is FAR from little.
A cancer diagnosis is downright terrifying.
But ONE simple change you can make starting TODAY could help you dodge a diagnosis in your FUTURE.
In fact, new research reveals this change can significantly SLASH the risk of developing NINE types of cancer.
A compelling new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that regularly moving more could have MAJOR cancer-fighting benefits.
The research found men with high levels of good cardiorespiratory fitness in early adulthood had a remarkably lower risk of being diagnosed down the road with cancers of the head, neck, lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal systems.
At the start of the study, treadmill tests were used to check the men’s cardiovascular health and aerobic ability. Volunteers with the highest VO2 max numbers (a sign of cardiorespiratory fitness) were considered very fit.
These guys were the fittest and could work out the longest before reaching exhaustion.
Over the next few decades, the researchers kept track of which men developed cancer.
The results were clear. The participants who were fittest in their 20s were FAR less likely to develop head, neck, lung, kidney, or digestive tract cancer later in life.
Now, if you’re no longer a young whippersnapper you may think, “Too late now, that ship has sailed.”
But here’s the thing…
Even if you didn’t have optimal fitness as a young adult, increasing your activity NOW can still make a significant difference.
Plenty of research shows that starting an exercise routine at any age improves cardiovascular health, strength, endurance, and respiratory capacity.
Plus, previous studies link increased physical activity to reduced cancer risk throughout adulthood.
It’s never too late to pump up your fitness level and reap the cancer-fighting benefits. Any physical activity you do now to work up a sweat will pay off for your long-term health.
So, no matter if you’re 22 or 82, lace up those sneakers and get moving TODAY.
Brisk walking, swimming, cycling, and other aerobic exercises help boost VO2 max to forge a healthy heart.
Here are some suggestions to get you started…
- Go for brisk walks outside or march in place at home. Start slow and work up to 30–60 minutes most days.
- Try low-impact aerobics classes at your local gym or community center. Water aerobics are gentle on joints.
- Swim laps at the pool for cardio conditioning. Use floats if needed.
- Cycle on a stationary bike or a real one around the neighborhood. Recumbent bikes are a comfy way to reap those biking benefits.
- Lift light weights or use resistance bands to build strength. Focus on the major muscle groups.
- Stretch to improve flexibility. Yoga and tai chi are excellent options.
- Chair exercises allow a great workout while sitting. Squats, leg lifts, and arm movements get your heart pumping.
- Dance to music you enjoy to burn calories AND boost your mood.
- Garden, mow the lawn, sweep, and do other active chores around the house.
The key is finding activities you enjoy and can stick with long-term. Build up your activity levels slowly so you don’t overdo it.
Remember, regardless of age, starting to exercise now can still help reduce your cancer risk and keep you healthy from head to toe.
P.S. THIS 30-second trick FIGHTS heart failure doesn’t cost a penny and has zero side effects.
