For example, the American Cancer Society recommends all adults get at least 150 minutes of intentional aerobic activity each week. This is in addition to daily activities like taking the stairs or doing housework.

Additionally, being more active regularly will promote a healthy weight, which is another way to lower your cancer risk.
