Welcome back, fellow fitness fanatics!

Today’s topic is a little bit sensitive, but it’s an important one. Most people are very aware by now that maintaining a healthy weight is essential for heart health. Most people probably also know that weight management is essential for preventing disorders such as type 2 diabetes or fatty liver disease. But what if it could also help protect your penis from cancer? A University of Iowa study has discovered that obesity increases the risk for penile cancer by a whopping 50%, and the risk continues to increase for every 5-point increase in BMI beyond the tipping point of obesity.

Obesity is also linked to other forms of cancer, which may be due to increases in the hormone insulin, which could promote cancer cell growth. Thanks for watching! Be sure to check back tomorrow for another tip of the day from your friends at XP Labs.
