Get Moving and Reduce Risk
October 26, 2022
As we close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month - it's important to discuss ways to lower your risk - for any type of cancer/disease. One way is preventative screenings. Another is physical activity.
Dr. E says that you should aim for 30 minutes of physical activity every week. An easy way to do this is to make it part of your regular routine. And what is something you routinely do? Commute!
On average - public transportation users take 30% more steps per day than commuters in cars. And train commuters are 4 times more likely to reach 10,000 steps a day than those in a car.
And don't just take our word for it - the CDC reported public transportation was associated with an additional 8 to 33 minutes of walking per day.
