Long sitting time linked to higher cancer risk

A recent study indicates that sitting continuously for more than 30 minutes daily is associated with an increased risk of death from cancer, especially if not accompanied by physical activity. The results show that replacing sitting periods with light activity such as walking or household chores reduces the risk of cancer by up to 12%, and substituting half an hour of sitting daily with moderate or vigorous activities decreases the risk by 8-22%. The study emphasizes that dividing sitting time with periods of movement can be an effective way to protect against cancer.
