From eFluxMedia: Research: Exercise May Diminish Cancer Risk:
Regular exercise can help sufferers in the fight against cancer, according to new research.
Researchers believe that exercise equivalent to a 30-minute walk five times a week can help prevent cancer, slow the disease’s progress, enhance recovery and prevent its recurrence.
Exercise cuts the levels of insulin, a hormone that causes most of the body's cells to take up glucose from the blood and triggers faster cell growth, boosting women’s risk of breast cancer and recurrence of the disease.
This doesn't seems like a breakthrough revelation - exercize is good for all of us, anyway - but it is another reason to take a break from watching football and go for a bike ride :)
