Obesity and Cancer


We know some of the traditional risk factors like smoking and genetics.


One of the recent discovery on the risk of cancer is actually obesity. Obesity has been linked to diseases like heart attack, but its link to cancer has been quite recent.


Many big studies has found that risk of breast, colon, kidney cancer etc. are linked to obesity.


Living a healthy lifestyle is very important, regular exercise and good diet not only lowers your risk of heart attack, but also cancer!
