:) That’s probably the selling point of the post! I found several sources earlier that pointed to higher wages for more attractive people (aren’t fit people attractive?).

CNN says it best and even has some neat statistics:

Thanks for the feedback! I guess #18 was a bit vague. Most of the studies that I sifted through suggested that exercise plays a role in preventing the recurrence of breast cancer, reduction in carcinogenic pain, and alleviation of common side effects associated with cancer.

Here’s one source I found at PubMed, if you are interested:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18458515

There’s a whole host of case studies on exercise, its role in decreasing the likelihood of cancer, and its ability to prevent return of cancer. I searched “exercise and cancer” at http://www.pubmed.gov if you’d like to see further studies.
