Since the corona plague began a year ago, a growing number of people have reported gaining weight after reducing exercise and eating less healthy food.
Weight gain has far-reaching effects on our health, one of which is an increase in life-threatening diseases like cancer.
Being overweight or obese leaves people vulnerable to tissue damage and tumor development, with over ten types of cancer being linked to being overweight in recent studies.
"We need to eat better food, but it is equally clear that regular exercise is also very important in cancer prevention," said Professor Linda Bauld of the University of Edinburgh in an interview with the British Guardian.

However, recent studies have also highlighted the link between exercise and other cancers.
In one recent experiment using mice, scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden divided mice with cancerous tumors into two groups - one with access to a spinning wheel, and another without any exercise - the researchers found that regularly exercised mice showed slower growth of cancerous tumors as well as rates Better survival.
The crucial point is that excess fat does not just sit quietly around our bodies, the researchers say.
It is active, sending signals to other organs and tissues, which can affect growth, metabolism and reproductive cycles.
These signals can direct cells to divide more often, which can lead to the formation and spread of cancer.
