Previous studies have suggested that physical activity decreases the risk of certain cancers.  University of California, Los Angeles (USA) researchers have found that men who work in jobs that require a continuous level of high physical effort are at reduced risks of developing prostate cancer.  The team compared the physical activity of 392 workers who developed prostate cancer with 1,805 men similarly employed and of similar age.  Amongst a group of aerospace workers, 64% of whom were involved in work that required sustained and high levels of physical activity, the odds for prostate cancer were 45% lower, as compared to their less active counterparts. 

Don’t underestimate the health benefits of physical activity, be it leisure-time exercise, competitive sports, or at-work exertion.
