Not only one time research says life lazing would damage one's health. A number of diseases are associated with this habit, like diabetes and heart attacks. Most recently, over time sit appear colon cancer risk, particularly in men.

Details, a team of researchers from the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University states that prolonged sitting increases the risk of a man to have an adenoma or benign tumors in the colon, which became the early symptoms of colon cancer. As reported by the Huffingtonpost, Wednesday.

" With the discovery of an increased risk of recurrence of adenomas in the large intestine, especially in men with the highest sedentary time, we believe efforts to reduce sitting time is added to the list of public health recommendations to improve health and prevent the disease in the community, " said researcher Christine L. Molmenti Sardo, Ph.D., MPH, from the Department of Epidemiology, Columbia University.

Research presented at the meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research is based on observations of the 1,730 people who took part in two trials held the University of Arizona.

All participants claimed to have undergone colonoscopy or removal procedures adenomas of the colon, at least once within a period of six months before the start of the study. Although the researchers found no association between sedentary activity with a recurrence of adenomas in the large intestine when looking at existing data on male and female participants simultaneously, researchers actually found a link that you want when observing the data only male participants.

The man who spends as much time as 11.38 hours or more just to perform sedentary activities ( such as reading a book or watching television ) have a risk of up to 45 percent higher to have more adenomas than men who only spent 6.9 hours doing sedentary activities.

Not only that, high sedentary activity coupled with low -intensity physical exercise is associated with a risk of emergence of adenomas researchers back up to 41 percent. Even the condition of man 's participation in sedentary activity and physical activity are equally low is still much better than the men who are ' active ' lazing all day.

Another study released in 2011 also presented each year there are more than 170,000 cases of cancer that occurred only because the sufferer sitting habits.

Although the United States had conducted several campaigns to eliminate or replace the content of these three, in fact, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control returned to find that some companies only change the label, but still use it.

Janet Nudelman, co - founder of an advocacy group Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, said there was concern some people may be at risk from these chemicals, although most companies claimed most of their products are safe for consumers.

"Using only occasionally and not every time may not lead to the emergence of long-term health consequences., But some researchers say there is a concern for those who work in nail salons, " said Nudelman.

In addition to them, the children are also known to be highly susceptible to phthalates such as DBP, as it may pose a risk of impaired growth and development. Because the fact that some pediatricians often give suggestions to reduce the nail biting habit in adolescents who use nail polish.

Pregnant women are also advised to not use nail polish or nail polish during pregnancy.

According to Dr. Fitriyadi, HPV that cause cervical cancer in women can also cause penile cancer in men. But the risk is not too great.

" In men it can cause cancer of the penis but not too big. Among women 99 percent of the causes of cervical cancer, but the guy who finished 42 percent of penile cancer. Having said that, men also need to be vaccinated with HPV, the vaccine together with women, " said Dr. Fitriyadi.

Although HPV can be attached to the skin or genital organs of men, but the virus is not going to be as dangerous as when it is in the cervix ( neck of the womb ) women. This is because the cervix is more sensitive to the HPV virus or penile skin than men.

Experts say that a lack of physical activity causes women at high risk of developing various types of cancer. That's what experienced by women in the UK. Britain is a country with cases of colon cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer and the tenth highest of 180 countries in the world.

What is the relationship between lack of physical activity of women with high cancer cases in the UK ? Experts say that the lack of physical activity that causes women to soaring cases of breast cancer, colon cancer, and cervical cancer in the UK. As reported by the Daily Mail, Monday ( 06/01/2014 ).

"It reflects the lifestyle of most people in western countries. Majority of us spend too much time to sit around and not being offset by physical activity in their daily routines. " said Dr. Rachel Thompson of the World Cancer Research Fund.

Researchers estimated that 12 percent of cases of colon cancer and breast cancer could be prevented if people were more physically active. Moderate cases of cervical cancer can be reduced by 10 percent if women are more physically active.

To avoid contracting the three types of cancer, women are advised to perform moderate physical activity for 150 minutes in a week. Examples are gardening. With such activities, can be more slender body while cutting hormone that triggers cancer is caused by fat.

"Regular activity can help strengthen the immune system, keeping it healthy hormone levels, also keep digestion in good condition. All it can help reduce the chances of cancer, " said Dr. Thompson.

However, only a few women who do enough physical activity. In the UK, only 36 percent of women are able to meet these targets. According to statistics, breast cancer, colon cancer, and cervical cancer whack 133 per 100,000 people in the UK.

Barbados is the country with the most cancers and the Bahamas was ranked ninth . But according to Dr. Thompson , the data from these two countries is less valid when compared to data from Western Europe and America . That caused the UK ranked eighth , under Belgium , Denmark , the Netherlands , France , Iceland , Luxembourg , and the United States.

Last year , researchers in the U.S. found that women who walked for one hour per day can slash the risk of breast cancer later in life . Vigorous physical activity they even have double protection . Therefore, women should continue to exercise regularly to avoid cancer .

" We already know that being active can reduce the risk of breast cancer in women , " said a spokesman of Breakthrough Breast Cancer .

The spokesman added , " We recommend to perform mid-level physical activity for 30 minutes in a day , or 3.5 hours per week . Was able to reduce the risk of breast cancer , at least 20 percent . "

According to the spokesman , regular brisk walking is the easiest way to keep women from cancer . Because every physical activity that increases the pulse rate can reduce the risk of cancer , including walking can be done anytime and anywhere for free . Well , regular walking is the most clever way to prevent cancer.

Beware, Oxygen Deficiency Could Aggravating Breast Cancer

Baltimore, Breast cancer is one of the diseases that target women. If the cancer has spread, the risk is death or surgical removal of the breast. However, for patients who have severe, recent research has found a way for the cancerous tumor can not grow. One is always sufficient oxygen levels in the body.

Research conducted by the John Hopkins University in Baltimore said that the low oxygen levels in the body will trigger the production of proteins that make the tumor develops. This study aimed to examine the influence is there any body in the process of developing the dangerous tumors.

Cancer of the breast, lung, bone, and liver, including the type of disease that is difficult to handle. Because these tumors tend to move from its original place. The process is called as metastasis, the biological process in which cancer cells spread to other body systems.

Gregg Semenza, professor of medicine involved in the study, said that the breast cancer cells growing as a result of anticipating body hypoxia or lack of oxygen. When being starved of oxygen, the body will release RhoA and rock1 that can make healthy cells to adapt, but also led to the development of breast cancer.

" When tumor cells spread, in part because the tumor will not run out of oxygen supplied by blood vessels. Thing that makes the body sends a signal lack of oxygen, and finally removing these proteins, " he said as quoted from medicaldaily on Monday ( 30/12 / 2013).

Laboratory test results showed the same thing. According to Daniele Gilkes, a team of researchers from the same university laboratories, lack of oxygen will make the cancer tissue release called parallel filaments. This network serves to grip the outer surface of the cancer and make it spread.

Gilkes stated that research has successfully proved that the spread of breast cancer can be prevented by creating a state of oxygen deficiency as seldom as possible. The hope is that there will be further research to understand the effects of drugs on the development of protein RhoA and rock1.

Breast cancer is the second most vicious cancer in the United States. It was reported that 200,000 women developed the disease, and 40,000 of them die every year. Meanwhile, one in eight women have expressed the cancer.
