Exercise is essential for warding off many health issues, including cancer. But does the timing of your workout make a difference? According to new research, getting active at two specific times of day may significantly lower the risk of colorectal cancer.
Researchers of the latest study, which examined physical activity patterns and colorectal cancer risk in nearly 86,000 participants, identified two peak times during the day when exercise is linked to reduced cancer risk. Engaging in early and late evening activity could cut the risk of bowel cancer by 11%, according to the results of the study funded by the World Cancer Research Fund.
