Want to reduce the risk of cancer, want to get rid of heart disease - but cycling can fulfill these desires. Yes, scientists say so. Bicycling will reduce your risk of cancer and get rid of heart disease.
According to the BBC, a group of scientists from the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom conducted a study for nearly two and a half million people for five years. After the study, they said that those who carry bicycles on regular workplaces, their risk of cancer and heart disease dropped by half. And if it can make rules, it is possible to reduce that risk even without going to the gym. Studies have shown that 45 percent of the risk of developing cancer by cycling regularly decreased. And the risk of heart disease decreased to 46 percent.
The research has been published in the British Medical Journal. At the time of research, 2,430 people died. Studies show that 3,748 people of two and a half million people were diagnosed with cardiovascular disease and 1,111 were diagnosed with cardiovascular disease.
It has also been found in the study that people who do not travel in public transportation or walk in the workplace, they lose their risk of getting infected. But the benefit of walking is less than cycling. Because of this, researchers say that people walk less than cyclists, usually walk less and less. Walking people can cross six miles a week. But it is possible to travel more than 30 miles per week after cycling. The more routes you can get through cycling, the more benefits you get.
Jason Gill of Glasgow University told the BBC: "It is really proven that people who actively ride bicycles, especially cycling, reduce the risk of those two diseases."
Claire Haid from Cancer Research UK said, 'This study will help you with the possible benefits of your daily life. You do not need to participate in the gym or marathon. "References: BBC
