Study Warns Prolonged Sitting Raises Cancer Risk
A recent study indicates that sitting for extended periods increases the risk of certain types of cancer, especially breast cancer. Women who sit for more than six hours a day are 10% more likely to develop various cancers, even after accounting for their physical activity levels. Research shows that reducing sitting periods to less than 30 minutes and incorporating movement during those breaks may decrease the risk, though the evidence is not yet conclusive. Experts recommend increasing activity and consistently reducing sitting time to help lower the chances of developing cancer.
