Transcript

00:00You don't need intense workouts or gym memberships.

00:04Simple movements, even gentle ones, can lower your cancer risk after 60.

00:10Let's explore how small, enjoyable exercises can protect your body in powerful ways.

00:17As we age, our bodies naturally slow down. Regular movement helps reduce inflammation,

00:23balance hormones, and strengthen the immune system, three key factors connected to cancer

00:29prevention. Chronic inflammation is a quiet troublemaker. Gentle exercise like stretching,

00:36yoga, or tai chi helps reduce inflammation and keeps your cells healthier.

00:42After 60, hormonal changes can increase certain cancer risks. Movement, even light walks,

00:49helps regulate hormones naturally and keeps your body in better balance.

00:53Walking supports digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and helps maintain a healthy weight,

01:00all of which lower the risk of colon, breast, and pancreatic cancers. Regular activity helps your

01:07immune system stay alert. It becomes better at detecting unusual cells early, one of your body's

01:13natural cancer defenses. You don't need to push hard. These simple exercises are safe, gentle,

01:22and effective. Walking 20-30 minutes, light strength training with small weights, yoga or tai chi,

01:29swimming or water aerobics, daily stretching for flexibility, listen to your body.

01:34A slow start is not a weakness, it's wisdom. Begin with 5-10 minutes and build gently. Movement doesn't

01:44have to feel like exercise. Gardening, dancing, playing with grandchildren, or even cleaning at your

01:51own pace all count. Joyful movement keeps you consistent. We stay more motivated when we move with

01:59others. Consider joining a walking group or inviting a friend for morning stretches.

02:06Encouragement makes habits easier. Every step you take is an act of self-care. You're not just

02:13preventing illness, you're strengthening your confidence, your energy, and your joy.

02:19You deserve a life filled with strength and peace. Let movement support you, gently, daily, and intentionally.
