Sitting for hours increase the risk of colon cancer in men

Man sitting too long can increase the risk of developing polyps in the colon, according to new research.

The polyps can be benign or malignant eventually leading to colon cancer. Although it can be removed medically, the presence of polyps is still regarded as one of the health threat.

As quoted from the Health , found similar risk does not seem likely in women who also sit for hours.

"Men who sit 11 hours or more a day had a 45 percent greater risk of suffering from polyps," said researcher Christine Sardo Molmenti of Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.

Although active in sports, the researchers added that the habit of sitting for hours still have a bad effect on health.

Researchers also suggest that everyone sit down for hours activities should stand up and stretch every half hour. This is done to improve blood circulation and prevent a variety of other health problems.

The results are reported later in the meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Oxon Hill, Maryland.

Sitting A long Time Every Day be Deadly | Are you an officer man that always spent your time in the seat? if your answer is "yes" you must be careful. The latest research shows, the peoples that spent their time by sitting about 11 hours or more, have 40 risk % to die in 2 or 3 year after. regardless of whether you are physically active or not.

As published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine on March 26, researchers from Australia delivered a serious threat of lifestyle is less active or sedentary. They analyzed data on more than 222 000 people aged 45 years or older. The study results indicate, the risk of death of person tends to jump when the time by sitting for 11 hours every day. This risk is 15 percent higher when compared with those who sit less than 4 hours per day.

"The evident to bad effect of sit dawn for along time toward health condition have appear for some years." said researcher, Hidde van der Ploeg a senior researcher from university of Sydney.

In his study, researchers also found that as many as 62 percent of study participants claimed to have excessive weight gain or obesity. Meanwhile, nearly 87 percent said they were in good health, and another quarter said it spent at least 8 hours to sit down every day.
