Almost every man that is fat, overweight or obese wants to lose his excess body fat... the problem in most cases is that most men lack the will power or motivation to follow a fat loss program till they get results. Now, there is another reason why you need to lose weight and become lean... it could lower your risks of cancer! There are a lot of arguments on whether some of our current modern day habits (like consuming too much sugar or coffee or talking too long on our cell phones every day) could increase our risks of cancer – basically we don’t know for now if those things are linked to cancer or not. However, when it comes to the link between cancer and obesity, there is no need for argument about that because a scientific review published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) states it clearly “excess body fat increases your risks of some types of cancer!” IARC is a part of the World Health Organisation (WHO). In 2002, the IARC reviewed some relevant studies and its expert panel of researchers published a report finding enough evidence that having excess body fat increases a man’s risk of having some kinds of cancers. The IARC did another reassessment in 2016 and published it in The New England Journal of Medicine – it reaffirms its previous findings and also includes eight more cancer that you are at risks of if you are still carrying excess body fat! According to Beatrice Lauby-Secretan, (who is the lead author of the article and also an IARC scientists that is in charge of the agency’s Handbooks of Cancer Prevention Series) there have been so many research studies that have been conducted since 2002 that the scientists at IARC all felt it was the perfect time to reassess these research studies and also try to confirm that excess body fat increases your risks of most cancers. 21 independent international cancer experts formed a working group that reviewed over 1,000 research studies on excess body fat and cancer risks that have been published after IARC released its 2002 report on the same issue. The review found out that preventing weight gain (or reducing your excess body fat) can lessen a person’s risk of the following:
WARNING: The 2016 reassessment also include more cancers to the list of what you can get by being fat, overweight or obese. These other cancers include:
According to the IARC’s review study, a man’s excess body fat puts him at a much higher risk of esophageal cancer (esophagus adenocarcinoma) than other kinds of cancer! Since obesity has increased in the human population, the occurrences of some types of cancers have increased. And this means that a sizeable amount of these cancer cases could be as a result of obesity or excess body fat. If you have excess body fat – now is the time to get rid of it and lower your risks of cancer! The more body fat you have, the unhealthier you are. There is nothing like healthy fat! The phrase “I am healthy fat” is just a way that some fat and overweight men use to avoid the fact that they need to lose their excess body fat to become fit and healthy. Of all the risk factors of cancer, reducing your excess body fat and maintaining a body fat percentage of less than 20% is the easiest one that you can influence. Don’t take what I am telling you lightly... in 2013 they were 4.5 million deaths that were linked to the individuals being overweight or obese. Obesity is becoming a global epidemic! And in a few years time, it is very likely that scientists may find out more cancers that are linked to having excess body fat. The reason why excess body fat may increase your risks of cancer is because it is known to trigger chronic inflammation and it also disrupts the body’s regulation of sex hormones – these two scenarios make it easier for cancer cells to develop. Most people are not aware about the link between excess body fat and cancer because the news media is more concerned about flooding us with reports about which substances (like sugar or coffee) may or may not increase our risks of cancer. Now you know the truth – being overweight can increase your cancer risk! I am talking about actual scientific research studies that point to the fact that you can actively reduce you risks of having most cancers just by reducing your excess body fat! And healthy fat loss is fundamentally about eating portion-controlled healthy meals and exercising regularly. When it comes to this issue of cancer, there is no need to be bothered about things like: genetics, exposures in the environment or things that you cannot control... Instead you need to realise that there is actually something that you can do to help lower your risks of many types of cancers – this is where making a healthy lifestyle change comes by losing your excess body fat and making sure that you maintain a healthy weight for the rest of your life.
If you have been postponing your decision to lose your excess body fat, now is the time to take action and start a fat loss program.
