Cancer Prevention

Move around, Get up and Walk Often, Drink pure and clean Water.. all this Can Help Protect You Against Cancer
It all happen in WASHINGTON — 
A brand new study reveals that uninterrupted sitting may be responsible for 173,000 cases of cancer each year.
A recent important presentation at the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and conference given by Christine Friedenreich, an epidemiologist at the Alberta Health Services-Cancer Care in Canada (http://www.ucalgary.ca/sacri/node/203showed evidence that physical inactivity is closely linked to 49,000 cases of breast cancer and 43,000 cases of colon cancer a year here in Canada and the United States.
According to Friedenreich, Colon and Breast cancer seam to be the most cancers influenced by luck of physical activity, this info come out from part of the research available to date. But her findings also suggested that 37,200 estimated cases of lung cancer, 30,600 estimated cases of prostate cancer, 12,000 estimated cases of endometrial cancer and 1,800 estimated cases of ovarian cancer could be prevented when people would be involved often into physically activity.
The mentioned study mention that many recent research indicates that when an uninterrupted sitting is adopted, is NOT very good for your health, so get up and move around often :-).
Well, after the bad news.. YES, there is good news and that you can reduce the risk of developing cancer simply and easy.... just move around and do not sit for to long. 
The research also indicates that continual long and uninterrupted sitting periods could be the most unhealthy thing you can do, and that by frequently interrupting that long period of sitting with just a few minutes of light exercise, (walking to get a glass of clean water or fresh extracted juice.. this is my addition haha :-)) anyone can lower their cancer risk.
From reading on other as important research, it was found that a couple of minute short get up and walk around breaks may reduce the levels of molecules in the body that have been linked with many cancer risk.
From what we can gather so far from what most researchers who have recommended the 20-30 minutes of exercises, it may not be totally true, because even when we exercise regularly for 20-30 or more minutes a day while most of the time we are sitting on our but for much longer periods of time with out interruption, we may still be at risk.
Using much of her data from previous studies and work on cancer indicators, Friedenreich is now estimate that several exercises breaks during the day may reduced the risk of breast and colon cancer by 25 to 30 %.
To summed it up, if we consciously get up and walk around often during our waking hours of the day or night, (yes, I know some people cannot sleep at night and sleep during the day, so when you are up at night... make sire you exercise or have breaks of other physical activity..haha :-) , 
To Health, Wealth and Wisdom always!!!!!,
