How 7,000 Steps A Day Could Help Reduce Your Risk Of Cancer

  • A large UK study of over 85,000 people found that taking at least 7,000 steps daily reduced cancer risk by 11%.
  • The study followed participants for six years and linked increased steps to lower risk for 13 specific cancers.
  • Researchers used wearable devices for accuracy and controlled for demographic, BMI, and lifestyle factors like smoking.
  • Increased physical activity was most closely associated with a lower risk of six types of cancer, including those affecting the stomach, urinary system, liver, uterine lining, respiratory system, and areas around the head and neck during the study period.
  • These findings support recommendations to sit less, move more, and aim for at least 7,000 steps daily to help reduce cancer risk.
