Great article- and I'll pass it on!

I remember reading about some studies that showed that if you gave terminally ill patients a feeling of control over their health and therapy they were more likely to recover. Exercise may play a part in that. I definitely agree that a part of it may be feeling empowered.

As you rightly say very few people link cancer with lifestyle. Whilst we don't know the exact causes of cancer yet the evidence strongly suggest that lifestyle is a very big contributing factor. Unfortunately, most people are unwilling to admit this and invest 30-60 minutes of their time each day on exercising. Glad to see more and more evidence linking exercise with a reduced cancer risk.

At least, I don't think I've been sick. It used to be that when I had the flu, I could barely stumble out of bed. Oh, wait a sec, I was like that even when I *wasn't* sick! Now, when everyone around me is laid up, I might feel a teensy bit tired and queasy, and I'm not sure if I caught the virus or not. Obviously, when you start out stronger, you're going to be better off if you lose most of your strength. This is one of those "duh!" studies for me.

However, since I decided to drastically alter my routine to include much more walking, I have seen some great things. I'm happier, my legs feel stronger during sprints and lifting, my pain threshold has increased, my agility has been improving and many more great results! I think that walking is so underrated. People should give it more credit and incorporate it into their lives more. Today, I parked my car about 2 miles away from the football stadium and just walked back. Not jogged, just walked. It felt great! All the Best, Andrew R Hey Mark,

And I do believe that some people (particularly many who race long distance stuff all the time) increase their risk for cancer and heart disease by overtraining and eating the high carb diet to fuel it. However, in these studies, the "exercisers" were generally doing more of what we call the classic Primal Blueprint "moderate doses" and "low level aerobic" stuff (walking or easy cycling)...and not very much of it compared to the elite athletes I rag on so much.

I'm sure the people that were taking part in the study didnt come anywhere close to what elite cyclists are riding each day. I second Troy’s opinion/question.
