Did you know this about Cancer?

Did you know that cancer can be linked to your weight? 44% of us don't know this!

Its true - if you are overweight you are at an increased risk of  bowel, ovary, womb, pancreas, gallbladder, kidney and oesophagus, and breast cancers. In fact, there is a link with weight and 16% of breast cancer cases, 15% of pancreatic cancer cases and 14% of bowel cancer cases. What is really interesting about this is that these figures are higher than the chances of getting cancer through inherited genes - where the likelihood is only 5-10%.

This data was pulled from a survey conducted by YouGov, where 2,000 Britons were polled by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF). It also noted that two in five people were unaware that a poor diet can increase your cancer risk.

This is yet another demonstration of how a good weight and proper diet can benefit your overall wellbeing.
