Break every hour to cut cancer risk says AICR
The American Institute for Cancer Research urges a one to two minute activity break each hour to offset long sitting. Daily 30 to 60 minutes of exercise reduces cancer risk, while prolonged sitting lowers key indicators even for exercisers. Try walking to a colleague, stand during calls, or keep light weights at work.
