The Importance Of Exercise

 I hope you haven't forgotten to exercise today:

Back in 2016, an international team of researchers reported that leisure-time physical activity was associated with lower risk for many types of cancer—and this held regardless of body size or smoking history. More recently, a 2025 study of more than 85,000 adults in the United Kingdom found that people with the highest level of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity had a 26% lower risk for cancer compared to those with the least. People who engaged in light activity (such as household chores), had higher daily step counts or substituted an hour a day of sedentary time with physical activity also saw benefits. Another UK Biobank study found that even brief bursts of vigorous activity totaling less than five minutes a day reduced cancer incidence among people who did not exercise regularly.
