Housecall for Health: Sitting Cancer

Could your day job be linked to cancer?

FOX’s Colleen Cappon has the answer in today’s “Housecall for Health”…

According to the American Journal of Epidemiology, people who sit a lot are at higher risk of colon cancer, along with heart disease.  The data found that those who spent ten or more years in sedentary jobs had double the risk of colon cancer, and a 44% higher chance of developing rectal cancer compared to those who held a more active job.

The study did NOT look at whether exercise away from your job lowers your risk.
