At least 2.5 hours of moderate intensity physical activity
American researchers have analyzed the condition of more than 750,000 adults, followed for more than 10 years. They realized that it was possible to significantly reduce the risks of contracting the Cancer by practicing 2.5 to 5 hoursphysical activity moderate intensity or 1.25 to 2.5 hours of vigorous intensity physical activity per week.
Less risk for seven cancers
