Sometimes it's hard to walk to the gym. Now, you have a new motivation to maintain your practice: Exercise really helps you limit the risk of cancer.

According to Fox News, scientists have analyzed information from 1.4 million Americans and Europeans in 11 years about the level of participation in physical activities such as walking, swimming, and running in their free time. As a result, people who exercise regularly reduce the risk of 13 cancers compared to those who are lazy.
