#5 – Don’t Forget to Exercise!

The American Cancer Society recommends that to reduce your risk of getting cancer, you should exercise at least 30 minutes a day. Do that consistently for 5 days a week and you are all set for a healthy and long life.

Now, you don’t always have to head to the gym to get your daily exercise dose. You can take easy and simple steps towards staying active while at home or while going about your daily chores.

Walk as much as possible, for example, take the stairs instead of the lift. Practice yoga. It not only exercises the whole body but is also a wonderful stress reliever. If you love dancing, this could be a great option to help stay fit and cancer-free. There are multiple other options that you can practice to stay fit and active, such as tai chi, swimming, and hiking.

In short, make exercising fun and it will help you feel great and drastically reduce your chance of getting cancer
