YOU might not think that there is much you can do in four minutes. But you would be wrong.
New research has found it takes just 4.5 minutes of vigorous activity a day to noticeably reduce your risk of cancer.
This doesn’t mean you have to lace up and pound the pavement.
Instead, researchers claim that activity which causes you to huff and puff during daily tasks will do the job.
The study, led by the University of Sydney in Australia, suggests that 4.5 minutes of heart-pumping activity could reduce the risk of some cancers by up to 32 per cent.
