Sugary Drinks Increase Cancer In Women

Published on November 25, 2013 by pmnews   ·

Women addicted to sugar-sweetened beverages and carbonated drinks do not only risk obesity, diabetes and heart disease, they also risk cancer, according to a new health study.
Sugary drinks increase the risk of endometrial cancer, the study published in the current edition of the journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention said.
According to Mayo Clinic, a popular international health institute, endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the uterus, the hollow, pear-shaped pelvic organ in women where fetal development occurs.
It adds that this type of cancer can be detected at an early stage because it frequently produces abnormal vaginal bleeding. Its treatment includes removing the uterus through surgical operation. To get the current study report, researchers reportedly analysed data collected from 23,039 women who have experienced menopause with the data including information on their dietary intake and medical history as well as consumption of sugary and carbonated drinks..
The outcome of the researchers showed that the women with the highest intake of sugary drinks had a 78 percent increased risk of developing ‘estrogen-dependent type 1 endometrial cancer’ which is the most common type of endometrial cancer in women.
The study author, Maki Inoue-Choi, a research associate at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health in Minneapolis, was quoted by FoxNews.com as saying “we know that higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may increase body fat, and higher body fat may increase estrogen levels.
“Obese and overweight (women) may have up to 3.5 times higher risk for endometrial cancer.”
Inoue-Choi said the difference between sugar found in beverages and those found in whole foods is that the latter comes with other nutrients, fat, and fibre which could slow sugar absorption, but in beverages the sugar is absorbed more quickly.
The study author, while urging for deeper research into the new discovery, urged people, especially women, to avoid sugar-sweetened beverage intake, because it may increase the risk of health conditions like obesity, diabetes heart disease and cancer.
The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that by the end of this year, 49,560 women in the United States alone would have been diagnosed with endometrial cancer.

PEOPLE'S HEALTH AND FITNESS CHALLENGED.

Greetings to you all. You may have been wandering while I have not posted on my blog for some time now. My apologies. The truth is that there is so much going on on my mind right now and confusion seams to be setting in. Much has been preached, much has been said, much has been written, much has been practiced on the topics - Health and Fitness, Exercise and related subjects. The arsenal appears to be running dry. I have realized that the hydra headed problems bedeviling the community of people is posing serious threat to human existence. Talking to a deaf and dumb without applying the right approach will always hit a brick wall. The reasons why people are showing less interest in the subject exercise and health and fitness may not be far fetched. You may be wandering why cases of sudden death and stroke is now becoming a common occurrence in the society. Let us take a closer look at the issues below and you tell me why sudden death and stroke should not be. Tell me also why the people should not be less concerned with the issue of exercise and fitness.

UNEMPLOYMENT.
This is a very serious problem and it is a big contributing factor to the unacceptable situation the populace has found itself. Hunger is biting the people hard. A hungry man, remember is an angry man; expecting a hungry man to engage in exercise in order to keep fit is a pipe dream. Make no mistake, those who are well fed amongst the people are in minority, but the preaching on health and fitness and exercise is directed to all. Not much is being done by those concerned to keep the people engaged. Even where jobs are available they are given either the highest bidders or to those whose ogas are at the top.

UNCERTAINTIES.
This is an offshoot of unemployment.The unemployed is not certain of what becomes of him in the nearest future, not with so many mouths to feed, so many children in schools asking for school fees, not with so many extended family members coming forward with myriad of problems requiring solution, etc. These issues run riot in the man's mind making it difficult for him to reason well.

UNFOCUSSED LEADERSHIP.
In most cases, the political leadership in place leaves much to be desired. Most of those in positions of leadership have no business being there as they are there to meet there selfish ends and not for the welfare of those who voted them into leadership positions. Tell me why they should resort to political thuggery, ballot box snatching and stuffing, results manipulation, killing of political opponents etc, if they were going there for genuine and God given reasons.

Other problems agitating the minds of the people includes but not limited to the following: Armed Robbery, Kidnapping, Terrorism, Stress,etc. All these are posing serious challenges to the people's health and fitness. Telling such people to go out and exercise is like attempting to kill a dead horse.
An attempt to cut a fallen tree which has another fallen tree on its top can only be successful when the tree on its top is first cut. All these problems listed above require urgent attention in other to improve on the health and fitness of the people.

What Do Experts Recommend for Fitness?

The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans are designed so people can easily fit physical activity into their daily plan and incorporate activities they enjoy.
These guidelines recommend that each week you do one of the following:

• Two and a half hours of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity (Examples are walking briskly, water aerobics, ballroom dancing, and general gardening)
  
  OR

• One hour and 15 minutes of vigorous physical activity (Includes racewalking, jogging or running, swimming laps, jumping rope, and hiking uphill or with a heavy backpack)

Make sure that you do at least 10 minutes of aerobic activity at a time. In fact, people who engage in short bursts of physical activity for 10 minutes at a time have been shown to be just as healthy as people who do a regular 30-minute workout every day. Check out ABE for Fitness to learn ways to incorporate bursts of physical activity naturally into your daily life.
In addition, include muscle strengthening activities, such as weight training, push-ups, sit-ups, carrying heavy loads, or heavy gardening, at least two days a week. Exercise specialists, such as the American College of Sports Medicine, also recommend incorporating stretching and other exercises to increase flexibility and avoid injury, as well as exercises to improve balance and reduce risk of falls.
Read about specific recommendations for special conditions, such as women who are pregnant, adults with disabilities, and older adults or those with a chronic condition.

Move your body naturally

In his Blue Zones research on people who live over 100 years, Dan Buettner set out to identify the habits and behaviors that centenarians share. One key characteristic he found was that these people set up their lives so that movement and physical activity became a regular part of their routine. Rather than joining gyms or lifting weights, they get exercise by gardening, walking, climbing stairs, and performing housework. Finding ways that make sense for you to move more often, such as taking your dog for a long morning walk or biking to work, can be an effective way of designing a routine that encourages you to exercise without thinking about it.

A word of caution

While exercise is undoubtedly beneficial, it is not true that the more exercise you do or the harder you work the body, the better the results. Too much or too arduous physical activity can lead to injury. It is essential to maintain a balance between working out the muscles without overdoing it.  Know that your body gets stronger during rest and recovery.

Would you like to:

• Decrease your risk of disease?
• Feel better physically and mentally?
• Look better?
• Help avoid injuries?
• Keep doing activities you enjoy throughout your life?

Regular physical activity will help you do these things. Physical activity is essential to prevent and reduce risks of many diseases and improve physical and mental health. It can even help you live longer—research from the American Journal of Preventative Medicine indicates that regular exercise can add up to five years to your life.
Physical activity also keeps you in shape so you can enjoy leisure activities and safely perform work and home chores. It offers great mental and social benefits as well. The Lancet released a series of studies that attribute positive outcomes to physical activity, including “a sense of purpose and value, a better quality of life, improved sleep, and reduced stress, as well as stronger relationships and social connectedness.”
On the other hand, lack of physical activity is associated with increased risks of:

• Anxiety, stress, and feelings of depression
• Developing many preventable conditions, such as high blood pressure, coronary heart diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis, colon cancer, and obesity
• Dying prematurely

The authors of the Lancet studies even suggest that the sedentary lifestyle so common in our culture is more deadly than smoking. They also believe that 6-10% of the world’s non-communicable diseases (such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain kinds of cancer) are caused by physical inactivity.

12 important reasons to be physically active

1. Be healthier
2. Increase your chances of living longer

9. Have stronger muscles and bones

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• High blood pressure
• Type 2 diabetes
• Obesity
• Depression
• Breast and colon cancer
• Osteoporosis

Fitness for kids

Regular physical exercise is important for younger generations too, especially with the rise of obesity in children.
