A study conducted in the USA found that people, who perform moderate intake of exercise for 150 minutes a week, enjoy lesser chances of contracting various types of cancer.

Authors of that study say that 20 minutes of walk or cycling suffices to harvest benefits of that routine.

The simple exercise reduces the possibility of contracting liver cancer by 18% or the fifth for either men or women.

Rate of benefiting rises to 27% if a person exercises for about five hours a week.

That exercise should be performed moderately.

The percentage of contracting breast cancer decreased by 6% for women who exercise for twenty ة minutes daily of 150 a week.

If a woman exercises for five hours per week, she will have more benefits by 10% at least.

Kidney cancer reduced by 11% for people who perform this light exercise.

Those who exercise for five hours of walk weekly will harvest more advantages by 17%.

The authors affirmed that exercise reduces the peril of contracting cancer.

Exercise makes the man active and sheds off excessive weight.

The researcher examined about three-thirds of a million people in the course of ten years across the USA.

Dr. Alba Patel, from the American  Cancer  Society, said that the study sheds light on the importance of moderate intensive activity like fast walk which defends the body against various cancer.

Medical authorities in the United Kingdom (UK) recommends people to exercise moderately about for 150 minutes or 75 minutes of intensive exercise a week.

Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to pide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.

Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and pide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.

When cancer develops, however, this orderly process breaks down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed. These extra cells can pide without stopping and may form growths called tumors.

Many cancers form solid tumors, which are masses of tissue. Cancers of the blood, such as leukemias, generally do not form solid tumors.

Cancerous tumors are malignant, which means they can spread into, or invade nearby tissues. In addition, as these tumors grow, some cancer cells can break off and travel to distant places in the body through the blood or the lymph system and form new tumors far from the original tumor.

Unlike malignant tumors, benign tumors do not spread into, or invade nearby tissues. Benign tumors can sometimes be quite large, however. When removed, they usually don’t grow back, whereas malignant tumors sometimes do. Unlike most benign tumors elsewhere in the body, benign brain tumors can be life-threatening.
