Walking more or doing more housework can reduce the incidence of endometrial cancer in women.

The researchers surveyed 974 women aged between 30 and 69, and then compared them with other women of similar age groups. The researchers asked these women about their sports now and in their teens. The survey results show that women who walk for more than 60 minutes or do housework for more than 4 times a day have a 30% lower risk of endometrial cancer.
Experts suggest that the formation of uterine fibroids is related to a large amount of estrogen for a long time, and animal experiments show that high-fat foods promote the production and release of certain hormones, so the incidence of uterine fibroids in obese women increases significantly.
Obesity is a risk factor for cervical cancer.
Research published in the American journal Cancer also shows that obese or overweight women will increase the incidence of cervical cancer. James V. Lacey Jr, an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Institute who is in charge of this research, said that human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. At the same time, obesity or overweight is also an important factor of cervical adenocarcinoma. Because excess fat will affect and change estrogen and hormones, and increase the incidence of cervical cancer.
It can be seen that cultivating good eating habits and keeping regular exercise at ordinary times also plays a certain role in preventing uterine fibroids.
