The World Cancer Research reaffirmed recently that there is overwhelming strong evidence that our cancer risk is affected by our lifestyles (AIRC, 2013). Lifestyle is a major factor that may counteracts health problems related to cancers. The key causes of cancer are deeply associated with lifestyles activities, such as physical inactivity, overweight, tobacco, alcohol, occupational hazard and diets including lack of fruits and vegetables, meat, and lack of fibre, hormonal changes or menopausal effect, and including sunlight exposure. Research evidence on physical activity as having significant protecting effect against cancer is growing. In 2010, Cancer Research UK estimated that cancer is linked to physical inactivity with an evidence through the study by Parkin (2011), physical activity among women is lower than men in the UK, therefore this reflecting the level of women (at 2%) contributing to cancer were higher than men (less than 0.5).
