Another Reason to Stay Fit, It Could Save Your Life

According to the latest study results by the American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR), Obesity is now second only to tobacco in the U.S. as the leading cause of cancer.

This means aside from not smoking, staying a healthy weight throughout life is the single most important way to protect against cancer.

This change has an enormous impact on how the researchers at AICR view cancer prevention: It’s clear that lifestyle adjustments that reduce obesity can also reduce cancer – and that keeping a healthy weight is one of the best things you can do to reduce your risk.

That’s why following AICR’s cancer prevention recommendations is so important, and they’ve got so much to share on the small adjustments you can make in your own life that make a world of a difference to your overall health.

AICR's research has found a strong link between excess body fat and increased risk for cancers of the（for easier understanding, I have translated these words from English to Chinese):

pancreas, 胰腺
colon and rectum， 直肠 和大肠
