This week is National Healthy Weight Week, and the American Cancer Society (ACS) is encouraging people to manage their weight by eating healthy foods and exercising, a combination that has been shown to reduce the risks of cancer.Be proud.
ACS estimates one-third of cancer deaths are linked to obesity, including 3,000 deaths each year in Minnesota. Matt Flory, director of health care partnerships for the American Cancer Society's Minnesota chapter, points out that 62 percent of Minnesotans are overweight or obese - up from 44 percent, two decades ago.
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
