Get up off of your seat

November 7, 2011

Sit less and you could help reduce your cancer risk: new findings from a researcher at the Alberta Health Sciences-Cancer Care suggest that:

• 37,200 cases of lung cancer
• 30,600 cases of prostate cancer
• 12,000 cases of endometrial cancer
• and 1,800 of ovarian cancer

could be prevented if people were more active.

My latest motivation to get out and active? The flashy Nike sneakers I received at the Nike San Francisco Women’s Half-Marathon. Love the hot pink laces (they came with an extra set of black laces, but why on earth would I opt for boring black over these?!)
