Here are seven types of cancer that is scientifically proven to be prevented through exercise, as reported by MyHealthNewsDaily, Thursday (2/08/2012), namely:

A. Endometrial cancer

This cancer occurs in the endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus, so often referred to as uterine cancer. Based on research from the Yale School of Public Health, women who exercised for 150 minutes a week had a 34 percent lower risk of endometrial cancer than other women who are not active.

The researchers also found women with a body mass index (BMI) under 25 have an increased risk of endometrial cancer as much as 73 percent lower than women who did not actively exercise with BMI above 25. People with a BMI over 25 is considered overweight.

2. Colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is cancer that attacks the colon and rectum. According to a study published in October in the British Medical Journal, people who exercise 30 minutes every day can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

The study was based on a survey of 55 489 men and women aged between 50 to 64 years, who were followed for almost a ten-year study period. Approximately 23 percent of colorectal cancers can be prevented with a regular exercise.

3. Prostate Cancer

According to the 2006 study are listed in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised regularly showed a lower risk of prostate cancer or dying from the disease, compared with men who are not actively exercising.

Previous research from China has also been reported in the European Journal of Epidemiology in 2005 that moderate exercise can protect a man against prostate cancer.

4. Breast cancer

Women who have a family history of breast cancer can reduce the risk by 25 percent with moderate or heavy exercise for up to 5 times a week with a duration of 20 minutes each workout.

This risk will be reduced if you exercise regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle, according to a study published in October in the journal Breast Cancer Research.

According to a study published online in February in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, postmenopausal women who start exercising regularly in moderate to severe showed changes in hormone levels and protein followed by a decreased risk of breast cancer.

Some findings suggest that starting an exercise program during adolescence can delay the onset of breast cancer for women who can carry a mutation in the BRCA gene causes breast cancer, but can not prevent the disease progresses.

5. Lung cancer

Exercise can reduce the risk of lung cancer for smokers or people who have quit smoking. Researchers from the University of Minnesota conducted a study of 36 929 cancer-free women who followed participants for 16 years.

Researchers found that women with a lack of exercise are more likely to develop lung cancer than other women active in sports. The research is published in the journal of the journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention 2006.

According to the 2003 study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, men and women with active moderate to heavy exercise showed a decreased risk of lung cancer, especially those with an ideal BMI values.

6. Ovarian Cancer

Although it still requires the support of other studies, some evidence was sufficient to indicate the relationship between exercise with a reduced risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (cancer that is found in the cells on the surface of the ovary).

According to a study published in April in the journal Cancer Causes & Control, women who exercise intensively may have a reduced risk of invasive ovarian cancer compared with inactive women exercising.

7. Gastric cancer

Based on the study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention in 2008, people who exercise at the level of mediocrity may have a reduced risk of gastric cancer by 50 percent.

Researchers from the Cancer Care Ontario found that the risk of gastric cancer is estimated to decrease by 20 to 40 percent in people who perform strenuous exercise more than three times a week.
