Suppose, we went shopping in the market and had to carry a heavy bag. Climbing stairs at a fast pace and doing work like washing clothes often makes us breathless. If so, then this may be a good thing for us. In a study, it has been revealed that such activities can be effective in reducing the risk of cancer. A study report published in The Conversation Journal claimed that these activities done daily for four to five minutes can reduce the risk of cancer by 20% to 21%.

The study found that doing vigorous work for at least three and a half minutes each day reduced the risk of cancer by 17-18%. In cases of lung and breast cancer, the risk is estimated to be reduced by 30% to 32%. The study was carried out on many thousands of people For this, the researchers analyzed data from the UK health database. In this, more than 2 thousand such people were included, who had never had cancer before, nor were they involved in any physical activity. This included 55% of women whose average age was 62 years. It was also learned from the study that 96% of the total number of people were such, who were doing such work only for two and a half minutes. 92% spent less than two minutes on these activities.

Study co-author Emmanuel Stamatakis said these activities are most beneficial for people who don't like going to the gym or exercising. Physical activity is better than no exercise, says Linda S. Lindstrom. This study shows that any physical activity is better than no exercise at all. This means that household chores or occasional play with children cannot replace the benefits of regular exercise. According to the authors of The Conversation, four and a half minutes of activity is too little compared to 150 to 300 minutes of physical exercise a day.
