For those who are moderately to severely obese, there are many good reasons to lose the excess weight. You\u2019ll have more energy, sleep better, decrease your risk of debilitating joint or back pain\u2014the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

But one of the best reasons to lose excess weight is that you may greatly reduce your risk for many different kinds of cancers, including some of the most common and hardest to treat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u6839\u64da American Cancer Society<\/a>, being overweight or obese is clearly linked with increased risk of several cancers, including breast, endometrium (lining of the uterus), esophagus, colon, rectum, kidney, and pancreas. The link to other cancers is less well established, but many researchers believe they will eventually be found.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why: Your body fat isn\u2019t just excess baggage<\/a>. Recent science has shown that it functions as a metabolically active organ<\/a>, producing hormones, proteins, and other substances that affect body chemistry. Research also suggests that excess belly fat stimulates cell division: More cells\u2014more chance for cancer to develop.<\/p>\n

We can hear some of you out there saying: Sure, losing weight would be good for me, but how do I make it happen? For one thing, keep it simple: Gradual weight loss achieved through exercise<\/a> and eating a balanced diet of whole foods is the best way to improve your health and increase your longevity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Consider your daily habits<\/a>: Are you sitting most of the time? Spending more time with your phone or TV than you are outside?<\/p>\n

Getting on your feet and outside means you\u2019re more likely to be moving and less tempted to pass the time\u2014or deal with stress<\/a>\u2014by eating food you don\u2019t really need.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll not only feel better, you\u2019ll also kick your cancer risk to the curb.<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
