Interesting info about physical activity and cancer:
"Many studies in the United States and around the world have consistently found that adults who increase their physical activity, either in intensity, duration, or frequency, can reduce their risk of developing colon cancer by 30 to 40 percent relative to those who are sedentary regardless of body mass index (BMI), with the greatest risk reduction seen among those who are most active. (...) It is estimated that 30 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day is needed to protect against colon cancer. (...) Existing evidence shows a decreasing risk of breast cancer as the frequency and duration of physical activity increase. Most studies suggest that 30 to 60 minutes per day of moderate- to high-intensity physical activity is associated with a reduction in breast cancer risk. (...)"
(National Cancer Institute Factsheet)
Lo stesso vale per tumore dell'endometrio, del polmone, della prostata e la sopravvivenza del malato. Abbiamo forse bisogno di altri ottimi motivi per muoverci?
