@omshree Physical activity is associated with a lower risk for several types of cancer, including breast, prostate, colon, endometrium, and possibly pancreatic cancer. Physical activity can help regulate some hormones that contribute to the development of cancer and help keep the immune system healthy. In fact, being overweight or obese is a factor in an estimated 14% to 20% of cancer deaths. No matter how much exercise you get it lowers the risk of developing several types of cancer, as well as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
