Exercise to Prevent Cancer
Posted Dec 19, 2009
EXERCISE and a healthy diet could prevent nearly 80,000 cancer
cases a year, it has been estimated.
The figures from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) relate to
12 common forms of the disease and include 19,100 breast and 16,100
bowel cancer cases.
Four in 10 people the charity surveyed were unaware of the link
between diet and cancer and only 45 per cent recognised the benefits
of exercise.
WCRF adviser Professor Martin Wiseman said: "These estimates set
out in stark terms just how high the stakes are.
"When you consider that they do not include the cancers that
would be prevented through not smoking, it is clear cancer is
actually a largely preventable disease."
The WCRF recommend people exercise for 30 minutes a day, be lean
without becoming underweight, avoid sugary drinks and processed
foods and limit consumption of red meats while avoiding processed
meats.
They also say men should have nomore than two alcoholic drinks
aday - women no more than one.
