EXERCISE REDUCES UTERINE CANCER RISK

In overweight or obese women, physical activity, even at light or moderate intensities, lowers the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer), according to findings from recent research.

466 women were identified who developed endometrial cancer between 1992 and 2003 among approximately 43,000 older "postmenopausal" women.

All measures of physical activity and "avoidance of sedentary behavior" were strongly associated with reduced risk of endometrial cancer in women who were overweight or obese.
Questionnaire responses showed that physically active women engaged primarily in low- to moderate-intensity activities, such as walking, biking, aerobics or dancing, equivalent to about 2 hours of moderately paced walking per week.

I would rather be overweight and active than underweight and underactive. Of course I would much rather be the ideal weight doing the ideal amount of exercise but we can’t always be perfect in every regards can we?
