Besides all the other chronic diseases; like hypertension, osteoarthritis, stroke, type 2 diabetes and respiratory problems that are in your future.

Researchers have found a convincing connection between excess fat and cancers of the esophagus, pancreas, colon and rectum, endometrium and kidney, along with breast cancer in post-menopausal women. You hearing this girls?

So calculate body fat, and take action if you need to lose some. Here's some tips to start with.

Then check out this link for even more tips on how to burn that fat.

1. Be physically active for at least 30 minutes a day. I suggest you burn some fat running / walking.

2. Start eating with your brain. Avoid fast food, sugary sodas and processed foods low in fiber or high in sugar or fat. Basically stay away from all the crap that got you into this mess in the first place.

3. Start eating more fruits and vegetables, they are your friends.

It's been documented that people who eat various forms of vegetarian diets are at low risk of many chronic diseases, including some cancers.

4. Try to limit red meat consumption to 18 ounces a week and, except for very rare occasions, avoiding processed meats – cured, smoked, salted or chemically preserved products such as ham, bacon and hot dogs. I know it's hard, but do it.

Because once you reach the 18-ounce weekly limit for red meat, every additional 1.7 ounces consumed a day increases cancer risk by 15%. Every 1.7 ounces of processed meat consumed a day increases cancer risk by 21%.

5. Watch your salt intake and try to get your necessary vitamins and minerals through nourishing foods, rather than dietary supplements.

Never forget; your weight, your dietary habits and your physical activity have a direct effect on your cancer risk.

The good news is; you do have a significant amount of control over your risk of developing many types of cancer.

Just calculate body fat as long as it's a problem and work towards a weight loss goal. Your health and well being are in your hands.

Just change your lifestyle, it will change your life.
