WDDTY is committed to bringing to light the latest news about conditions such as cancer, and discussing scientifically proven methods of treating and preventing them.&nbsp; Here are 18 news stories from 2007 containing the most recent findings about the condition.&nbsp;

WDDTY has recently reported that you need <a href="http://www.wddty.com/03363800369556780837/exercise-you-need-far-less-than-you-think-in-order-to-stay-fit.html">less exercise than you think to stay fit</a> and that <a href="http://www.wddty.com/03363800372761685128/exercise-the-best-time-is-after-a-meal-not-before.html">the best time to exercise is after a meal</a>, so I have been keeping my eye out for any other useful tips about <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/exercise">exercise</a>. </p> <p>The web community has much to say about the role of exercise in combatting specific health problems.&nbsp; Although the <a href="http://www.wddty.com/03363800370268701045/arthritis-exercise-and-movement.html">role of exercise in treating arthritis</a> has been known for some time, one recent <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/261291/how_exercise_may_fight_arthritis.html">article</a> provides a helpful summary of the main health benefits of exercise for <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/arthritis">arthritis</a> sufferers.&nbsp; Meanwhile, another <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/05/070521105522.htm">report</a> indicates that the amount and intensity of physical activity undertaken by <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/cancer">cancer</a> sufferers can play a vital role in their recovery and elimination of future symptoms.</p> <p>As we have <a href="http://www.wddty.com/03363800369901488041/10-tips-for-a-healthy-lifestyle.html">previously reported</a>, regular exercise is crucial to maintaining your <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/physical%20health">physical</a> and <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/mental%20health">mental</a> health, and has been shown to improve <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/longevity">longevity</a>.&nbsp; Our recent news item indicating that you only need 10 minutes of exercise a day should reassure those for whom the thought of hours in the gym is a daunting one.&nbsp; But if motivation is still an issue, have a look at <a href="http://www.aheartylife.com/2007/06/03/there-should-be-no-excuses-when-it-comes-to-heart-health/">this blog post</a> countering the main excuses by those who do not exercise.&nbsp; Another motivational message worth having a look at is &#39;<a href="http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2007/03/13/10_ideas_to_get_you_exercising.php">10 Ideas to Get You Exercising</a>&#39;.</p> <p>If, like me, you find treadmills and exercise bikes a little boring, you should definitely have a look at Starlight&#39;s account of the &#39;<a href="http://starlight2.wordpress.com/2007/06/01/health-benefits-of-belly-dance/trackback/">Health Benefits of Belly Dance&#39;</a>.&nbsp; This informative post tells us how <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/raks%20sharki">raks sharki</a>, or <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/belly%20dancing">belly dancing</a>, is based on natural movements and so does not work against &quot;the body&#39;s physical inclinations&quot; like some other dance forms can.&nbsp; Starlight provides detailed information on the other health benefits of this particular form of exercise, which include improved posture and <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/muscle%20toning">muscle toning</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/weight%20loss">weight loss</a> and <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/stress%20reduction">stress reduction</a>.&nbsp;
