    Exercise is often praised for fitness and energy, but its benefits extend much further.

    The Hidden Connection Between Activity and Cancer

    The exact molecular reasons are complex, but the statistical evidence is clear. People who stay active and maintain a lean body weight are significantly less likely to be diagnosed with some of the most common cancers.

    Which Cancers Show the Strongest Link

    Dr. Vijay Agarwal highlights that exercise has the most measurable impact on colon, uterine, and breast cancers. These are the cancers where research repeatedly shows lower rates among individuals who live active, healthy lifestyles.

    Small Steps That Make a Big Difference

    The good news is that it doesn’t take extreme routines to see the benefits. Walking, cycling, yoga, or other consistent activities can strengthen the body and reduce long-term risk. Combining regular movement with balanced nutrition sets the stage for better health across a lifetime.

    Dr. Vijay explores this connection further in the 1st episode of The Orange Club Podcast: What's Really Causing Cancer in Modern Times?
