Exercise Reduces Risk, but Benefits Disappear if Women Stop Exercising
Many studies have found a link between regular exercise and a lower risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer or breast cancer coming back (recurrence). As a result, the American Cancer Society and many doctors recommend that women who’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as those who haven’t, exercise regularly – about 4 to 5 hours per week at a moderate intensity level. (Brisk walking is considered moderate intensity exercise.)
While the link between regular exercise and lower breast cancer risk has been well-documented, doctors haven’t been sure how long a woman has to exercise before the benefits start. Doctors also haven’t been sure how long the benefits lasted if a woman stopped exercising.
A French study has found that postmenopausal women who exercised regularly in the last 4 years had a lower risk of breast cancer than postmenopausal women who exercised less during the 4 years. The researchers also found that postmenopausal women who had exercised regularly between 5 and 9 years earlier but were less active in the past 4 years didn’t have a lower risk of breast cancer.
Work that body! ;D
Do a Self Breast Exam. #kickcancer!
