If all you had to do to lower your cancer risk was a brisk walk, would you
take 30 minutes out of your day?
.
According to one cancer researcher, physical activity can curb your
obesity risk, which in turn can reduce your odds of a life-threatening
cancer.
.
About 35.7 percent of U.S. adults are obese, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Obesity has been linked to increased risk
of chronic diseases including heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes.
.
In addition, the National Cancer Institute reports that obesity raises
risk for cancers of the esophagus, pancreas, colon, breast (after
menopause), endometrium (lining of the uterus), kidney, thyroid and
gallbladder, with recent studies reporting increased rates of
obesity-related cancers among Americans.
.
There are several reasons why obesity is such a major risk factor for
cancer. Dr. Karen Basen-Engquist, director of MD Anderson's Center for
Energy Balance in Cancer Prevention and Survivorship in Houston, Texas,
told CBSNews.com that obesity can cause metabolic dysfunction, or disrupt
how your body uses the energy from the foods that you eat. Obesity is also
known to increase inflammation by interrupting the process of cytokines,
which are small molecules that help cells send signals to each other.
.
In addition, obesity can affect sex hormones. In the case of
estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer, having more fat tissue may
increase the amount of estrogen, which in turn can fuel the growth of
these tumors, she added.
