Treadmill Desks Combat Obesity Linked to Higher Rates of Ovarian Cancer
Date:1/8/2009

mily history of the disease had a 36% chance of developing ovarian cancer.

Researchers conducting the study speculate that excess weight gain could lead to higher levels of estrogen in women, possibly promoting the growth of ovarian cells which could potentially lead to ovarian cancer.

While the causes of cancer are complex there is no doubt that obesity raises the risk of developing many varieties including ovarian cancer. Preventative measures include regular physician check ups, healthy diets and an emphasis on daily exercise and weight management.

The biggest challenge American's face however is achieving minimum levels of daily exercise. Treadmill desks such as TrekDesk developed by a company in Phoenix, AZ believe they have an answer.

"TrekDesk was developed to allow individuals to walk while they work and take back their health. We attack the two primary reasons American's do not exercise enough: motivation and time. When your work is attached to a TrekDesk you automatically start walking and working without having to plan or think about it. Better yet, at the end of the day you will have gained more exercise than the average American performs in a two week period and it did not interfere with other time commitments," states Steve Bordley, founder of TrekDesk.

The power of treadmill desks is their simplicity. The human body was designed to walk 30-35 miles per day yet the average American walks less than 5% of that amount daily. Treadmill desks are basically waging war on chairs and offering employees a chance to regain and maintain their health without interfering with other daily time commitments. Based on the rising rates of obesity related diseases they merit serious consideration within the workplace.
