"3 Minutes of Daily Exercise Can Lower Cancer Risk, Study Finds"

Engaging in fast movement, such as running for the bus or hurrying up the stairs, for just three to four minutes a day may lower the risk of developing more than 10 types of cancer, according to a study published in JAMA Oncology. The research, which analyzed data from activity trackers for over 22,000 people, found that individuals who incorporated vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity into their daily routine had a 30% lower chance of dying from several cancers, even if they didn't engage in regular exercise. Adding bursts of intensity to daily activities, like taking the stairs or walking with more vigor, can be beneficial for cancer prevention, highlighting the importance of avoiding prolonged periods of sitting.
