Two Key Times for Exercise to Reduce the Risk of Colorectal Cancer
Exercise is essential for preventing various health issues, including cancer. But does the timing of exercise matter? According to recent research, exercising at two specific times during the day may significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
A new study analyzing physical activity patterns and colorectal cancer risk in nearly 86,000 participants identified two peak times of exercise effectiveness during the day that are linked to a reduced cancer risk.
According to the findings of this research, conducted by the World Cancer Research Fund, engaging in physical activities in the early morning and late evening can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by up to 11%.
Michael Leitzmann, the lead researcher of this study, stated:
“This research shows that not only is physical activity important for reducing colorectal cancer risk, but the timing of peak activity throughout the day can also play a critical role in this regard.”
By identifying specific times—early morning and late evening—when physical activity offers the greatest benefits, these findings open new avenues for targeted prevention strategies. If validated by future research, this could provide a simple yet impactful way for individuals to further reduce their cancer risk through timed exercise.
