A new study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggests that sitting is also connected to cancer – not all types, but to colon and endometrial (uterine) cancer.
A person tending to spend much time seated,was linked to a 24% increased risk of colon cancer and a 32% higher risk of developing endometrial cancer.
For every two-hour continuous sitting, the risk of cancer rose 8% for colon cancer and 10% for endometrial cancer.
The greatest risk of causing a 54% increased risk of colon cancer and 66% higher risk for endometrial cancer is when a person who worked out regularly but who spent more hours on the couch watching TV, for instance, showed higher rates of cancer than those who didn’t sit as much.
According to lead author Daniela Schmid said, TV viewing in particular may be associated with higher rates of certain cancers since TV watchers tend to drink more sugared sodas and unhealthy, processed snack foods that can both contribute to obesity and increase exposure to potential food-based cancer-causing agents.
Scientists stated they had discovered individuals who spent numerous hours during the day sitting, have higher chance of developing certain kinds of cancer than those who used more time standing up or walking around.
So, take breaks every couple of hours, take a quick walk around the halls or garden will be good for your health too.
