Studies show that women who are physically active have a lower risk for developing breast cancer. Physical activity and exercise have been linked to the reduction of breast cancer among premenopausal women, primarily postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women who increase their physical activity levels may have a lower risk of developing breast cancer.
How might physical activity be linked to reduced risk of cancer? Well, here are some ways:
- Physical activity prevents obesity while decreasing the negative impact it has on the body.
- Physical activity lowers levels of hormones such as insulin, estrogen, and other factors associated with the development of cancer.
- Physical activity improves immune system function, which helps to fight off disease.
