Physical activity lowers the risk of getting cancer

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

New research presented by the American Institute of Cancer Research marks the existence of the connection between the hours spent watching television and the risk of cancer development.
Owing to the recent research, we already know that physical exercises are a protective factor from the development of cancers such as breast and colon cancer. The feedback connection is proven as well – a sedentary lifestyle increases the chances of tumors developing.

According to Medical Xpress after diagnosing 92,000 cancer patients a team of researchers led by epidemiologist Christine Friedenreich found that a significant difference in the development of cancer is just a sedentary lifestyle.
Physical activity corresponds to the lower levels of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein which is associated to the development of some kinds of cancers.

It is believed that people spend 15.5 hours every day working, studying, having meals, transportation or riding in front of the TV. Such a prolonged lack of exercises does not pass without the negative consequences.
That’s why Christine Friedenreich recommends physical activity. Walking down the corridor, get up and sit down, do not use transport if it’s possible. A good idea is the exploitation of office stationary bike, punching bag, or other opportunities to be proactive.

And note that physical work like this one is the wrong way to be active!

In spite of the fact that in alcohol it is a lot of calories, the moderate use of wine improves a female figure. To such conclusion the American scientists studying influence of alcohol on a female metabolism within 13 years have come.

As has shown research in which the data of 19 220 Americans has been considered, the women adhering to the moderate use fault, weight, than those who prefers to be limited to mineral water and even tea much more slowly type. As scientists assume, the calories containing in alcohol, have smaller influence on weight, than calories in other substances, however while anybody cannot explain the exact reason of this phenomenon.

There is such assumption: to consult with alcohol, a liver of the person regularly taking alcohol, shows additional activity for a metabolism, transforming superfluous energy into heat, instead of in fat.

Within 13 years of the participant of experiment 38 % from which did not take alcoholic drinks, told about the predilections in drink and fixed the weight. During this time most of all kgs those who avoided some alcohol while than more than alcohol the woman started to use have typed, with that in the smaller speed it added weight. The most insignificant influence on a figure rendered red wine while beer and a hard liquor added a weight maximum quantity.

The results of research published in magazine Archives of Internal Medicine, show argumentativeness of the statement on which all traditional diets are under construction, – that all without an exception alcoholic drinks increase weight. However, as researchers underline, beneficial influence has only moderate use of alcohol. Superfluous bent for to alcohol negatively influences not only weight, but also on health.
