Less than five minutes of daily chores that makes people “huff and puff” reduces the risk of some cancers by up to a third, according to a new study.

Researchers found that a total of just 4.5 minutes of vigorous movements during daily tasks cuts the risk of certain cancers by as much as 32 percent – even in people who don’t go to the gym.
