Is obesity linked to cancer?

KDAH

Being overweight or obese is not just a cosmetic concern; it significantly increases the risk of developing several types of cancer, including breast, colon, uterine, kidney, pancreatic, and liver cancers. Excess body fat can lead to chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances (like increased estrogen and insulin levels), and changes in how cells grow and divide — all of which can contribute to cancer development. The good news? Small lifestyle changes like eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, managing stress, and getting enough sleep can help reduce this risk. Awareness is the first step towards prevention. #ObesityAndCancer #CancerRisk #PreventCancer #PublicHealthAwareness #ObesityAwareness
