Just a week away from Labor Day, adults are plotting their winter routines.  Summers are made for R&R, but many of us fail to heed the warning that humans need fun in their lives.

According to a leading professor of Oncology and Behavioral Science, long term, chronic stress that lasts many weeks or months with no definite end point (such as caring for a sick loved one, unemployment, finances, etc.,) can weaken your immune system, making you prone to diseases like cancer. Stress hormones can inhibit a process called anoikis, which kills diseased cells and prevents them from spreading.

American Cancer Society research suggests that 42% of newly diagnosed cancers (caused by smoking, physical inactivity, excess body weight, excess alcohol consumption, and poor nutrition,) in the US — about 740,000 cases in 2019 — are potentially avoidable, as well.

Here are some weekend diversions that may help you relieve long-term stress, get active, and have fun. Moderation is recommended at the food / beverage events!
