The article from MSN discusses the relationship between waist size and cancer risk, highlighting that maintaining a waist circumference below 94cm for men and 80cm for women can significantly reduce the risk of developing various cancers. It explains that excess abdominal fat, particularly visceral fat, is linked to higher risks of cancers such as breast, bowel, and pancreatic cancer due to its metabolic effects. The article also emphasizes the importance of exercise in managing waist size and overall health, recommending at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity weekly, along with muscle-strengthening exercises twice a week. It suggests that even small amounts of regular physical activity can help in reducing cancer risk by controlling weight, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing inflammation.
