If we needed more reason to go on a jog, or at least a brisk walk, a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine offers some pretty strong incentive. It finds that people who get more activity in their leisure time have reduced risk of 13 types of the 26 types of cancer that were analyzed. The connections have largely been seen before, but this new analysis, in well over a million people, is a convincing once, since not only are the numbers are huge, but because the team breaks down the connection by type of cancer. And the size of some of the connections is striking.
