polyps in the intestine are considered precancerous: part They are degenerated into cancer over time. A new research of scientists has shown how to reduce the risk of polyps in the intestine due to their own efforts. Data obtained during a large -scale study of Nurses' Health Study II with the participation of 28 250 different age women. These women were sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. Procedure indicators were correlated with diseases that were diagnosed with project participants, as well as their bad habits (smoking, alcohol, malnutrition), physical activity, pregnancy and other lifestyle factors.

as a result They were able to find out that the risk of polyps in the intestine is in some way correlated with physical activity. In women who were generally active, as well as physical education or sports both in childhood and in adulthood – from 12 years and at least up to 64 years – the risk of polyps decreased most, as much as 24%. The participants whose physical activity at least an hour a day is present in their lives aged 12 to 22 years, reduced a similar risk to 7%. Women, physically active aged from 23 to 64 – by 9%.
