Cancer Risk of Sitting Down

The newest cancer risk factor could be sitting down. That's according to a report in the American Association for Cancer Research.

They found that men who spent more than eleven point three eight hours a day in sedentary behaviors, that's writing, typing, working on a computer or reading, were forty five percent more likely to experience reoccurrence of colorectal adenomas compared with men who spent fewer than six point nine hours in sedentary activities per day. The results are significant. As they suggest that lowering your sedentary time. In other words, basically standing up can reduce your risk of developing precancerous lesions.
