Cancer of the womb linked to large waist

Cancer of the womb linked to large waist

Extract:

"Women with a waist measurement of more than 34in have nearly double the risk of developing the disease than those whose waist is 31in or less, according to research published yesterday.

The risk is also almost doubled in those who have put on more than 44lb since the age of 20, and among the obese.

More than 5,500 women a year in the UK are diagnosed with endometrial cancer, or lining of the womb, and as many as 1,000 a year die from the disease. Incidence of the condition rose by 19 per cent between 1993 and 2002."


Since obesity is caused by fluid retention, which in turn is usually caused by salt sensitivity and can be prevented or lessened by eating less salt/sodium, it follows that in order to reduce the likelihood of developing cancer of the womb, women at risk should cut down on salt. - Lose weight by eating less salt!
