The Impact of Exercise in Lowering Cancer Risk

Cancer has always been the deadliest disease up to date. Around the world, cancer is the biggest cause of mortality, contributing for nearly 10 million fatalities in the year 2020. There are roughly 400 000 new cases of cancer diagnosed in children each year. A significant gap between over-nutrition and low energy activity is a hallmark of modern times, especially in Western or Civilized countries. This imbalance continuously unsettles cellular, tissue, organ, and systemic homeostasis, hastening the start and increasing the risk of many types of cancer. Westerners' resting metabolic rates (the amount of energy our bodies use while at rest) are alarmingly lower than those of our Homo ancestors, and they're dropping fast.
