Walking for 1 hour a week can prevent colon cancer

In the modern lifestyle, more and more people are suffering from colorectal cancer. Studies have found that women who walk 1 to 1.9 hours a week have a 31% lower chance of developing colorectal cancer than those who do not walk at all. In addition, women who do moderate or vigorous exercise for more than 4 hours a week have a 44% lower chance of developing colorectal cancer. As long as you walk for more than 1 hour a week, the risk of colorectal cancer can be reduced by 30%.

Small amounts of exercise are sufficient to reduce risk, but more intense exercise may reduce associated or additional risks.

So how much exercise can you do to minimize the risk of colorectal cancer? Generally speaking, walking for 20 minutes every day can play a very good role, especially walking half an hour after eating, the effect is best. In addition, it is recommended that people should choose to walk when they go to work or go out, and do not stay in the house watching TV in their free time, but go outdoors to participate in sports, because this can not only strengthen the body, but also prevent cancer.

In addition to walking for one hour a week to prevent colorectal cancer, we also recommend that you eat more light, easily digestible foods in your daily diet, ensure proper nutrition, avoid tobacco, alcohol, spicy and fried foods, control fat intake, eat vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in vitamins and fiber appropriately, and ensure smooth bowel movements.
