Does Exercise Lower The Risk Of Colon Cancer?

Your digestive tract is kind of like a sewage place. It recycles the stuff your body can use and stores the waste for disposal.  The longer period waste sets in the digestive tract or rectum, the longer harmful materials have to leach out of the solidifying stool and back into your tissues. Exercise gets your body moving, which the waste in your system gets moving. This is because exercise encourages peristalsis, a wave-like muscle contraction that allows push waste through your digestive tract. Research indicates that exercising can decrease cancer of the digestive tract risk by up to 40%. Exercise also tends to decrease the incident of other threats for cancer of the digestive tract, like obesity and diabetic issues.

Why should you care?
Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of U.S. cancer deaths for women and men combined. In fact, more lives are lost each year to digestive tract cancer than to AIDS and breast malignancies combined. If you really like yourself and you really like the people who care about you, you have good reasons to care about preventing colon cancer.

What should you do?
Intentional exercise seems to be less important than simply leading an active life. In general, people don't have to go to the gym three-to-five times a week for an hour in order to decrease their chance of generating digestive tract cancer. People can decrease their risk by increasing exercise in their daily routine. This can be carried out by choosing a faraway parking space, taking the staircases, shopping, cleaning, getting walking, playing with children or pets, and several different other actions. Of course, intentional exercise isn't bad either. But it's hard to do if you're forcing it on yourself. So, I suggest making a real effort to find a fun, physical past time. Sex works. If you like it and you're safe and old enough and all the other caveats that should be added. Team sports like football ball, basketball, volleyball and tennis are outstanding for a lot of people. Individual sports like getting on, swimming, walking, and running are great for others. Exercising prevents cancer of the digestive tract and makes you feel better. It can also be fun, if you let it. Why not incorporate a bit more exercise into your daily routine?

How much exercise?
Up to 1 hour duration of average activity daily or 30 minutes of vigorous activity is recommended to cut your
cancer risk. 'Moderate strength activity' is anything causing a minimal but identifiable increase in respiration and heart beat rate (like quick walking, buttoning a clothing, medium-paced snorkeling or cycling). 'Vigorous activity' makes you 'huff and puff'. It can be described as exercise at 70% to 85% of your maximum heart rate and includes activities like football, squash, netball, basketball, aerobics, circuit training, jogging, fast cycling and rowing.

What kinds of activity can do?
If you don't like the gym, try:
  • Active recreation like bush walking, surfing or cycling.
  • Active transport such as walking to public transport, or walking or cycling to your destination.
  • Sports such as soccer, netball and tennis.
  • Salsa or ballroom dancing.
  • Strength training like Pilates and yoga.
  • Brisk walking or jogging.
  • Skipping rope or ballgames.
