How Weight Loss Reduces Cancer Risk
I know a lot of the advertisements and reports you see focus on weight loss for vanity reasons, but you’d be surprised to find out how maintaining a healthy weight can do wonders for your health and longevity.
A special report that was just published by the Mayo Clinic Women’s Health Source in the November issue goes through a number of ways to prevent cancer. One of the big ways was to lose weight because they estimated that "excess weight is a factor in 14 to 20 percent of all cancer-related deaths in American adults."
The Mayo Clinic also recommended being physically active since there is now evidence to demonstrate that people who are physically active have a lower risk of some cancers than those who are more sedentary. Did you know that just 45 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a day is considered optimal to reduce the risk of breast and colorectal cancers? This is pretty powerful information if you take advantage of it…

Try wearing wearable weights like “Body Togs” anatomically designed weighted sleeves worn on your arms & legs under your clothes. Put them on in the morning and you literally forget you have them on while increasing your calorie burn, muscle tone & bone density! Weighted vests work great too!

I also heard how fat--which can be removed if we lose weight--also acts as a catalyst in creating carcinogenic substances (these substances cause cancer). So this piece of information is very helpful for all of us.
I can say that this is a very good motivator for some who want to lose weight: they live a healthier lifestyle, they get the weight and body they want, and they are far away from the possible dangers of cancer. :)
