Ongoing regular daily exercise is the key. Most people are well aware of the cardiovascular benefits of exercise, and they come as no surprise. But you might not know that regular aerobic exercise can cut your risk of cancer, too. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer deaths behind lung cancer. Other female reproductive cancers, specifically ovarian and endometrial cancer are significantly lower in those who exercise as well.
Many studies consistently show an inverse relationship with exercise and colon cancer.
They found up to a 50 percent reduction in the incidence of colon cancer in those who exercised the most. Although it appears that exercise plays little role in protecting one from developing prostate cancer, it is associated with a lower incidence of advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. BPH is an extremely common condition characterized by a benign enlargement of the prostate that can cause urinary tract symptoms. For those who have been diagnosed with cancer, research shows that regular exercise helps them to better tolerate their treatments and boosts their immune systems. This can lead to weakness of the bones resulting in bone fractures.
