Worryingly, Australia is a world leader when it comes to bowel cancer.
Instead, most experts believe toxins or toxic influences in the world around us are interacting with genes to cause malignant changes.
In other words, you might unknowingly carry a gene that’s only altered when you’re exposed to a particular chemical, whereas someone else who doesn’t have that version of the gene would be unaffected.
Lifestyle and pollution, who’d have thought /s
As I visit the city today (bus), I’m not sure how people tolerate the toxic transport pollution stench :(
Cycling is somewhat understandable, but I completely agree with running and walking. It always baffles me when I see these people around my area going for walks or runs along a main road, breathing in all the traffic fumes, when they could do it on quiet suburban streets, around a lake or along the beach.
Annoyingly sometimes a main road or highway is the only way to find relatively flat terrain. Where I live the moment you are off the main road you’re into endless hills, makes it difficult if you’re trying to keep your heart rate in a certain range!
Though completely agree about using suburban streets for running. Much nicer than major roads!
