Here’s some important information about the effects of exercise on your chances of surviving breast cancer:
A new study has revealed that continuing to maintain a health lifestyle and regular exercise increases the chances of survival in breast cancer by a whooping 50 percent.
Dr. Michelle Holmes, a cancer researcher at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, says, “Women with breast cancer who exercise at moderate intensity for 30 or more minutes per day for five or more days per week survive longer.”
The study found that women who were active were 37 percent less likely to succumb to the disease than inactive ones.
“Women with breast cancer have little to lose and much to gain from exercise. This is good news for women with breast cancer,” Dr Holmes who led the team of researchers pointed out. Dr Holmes said that women tended to decrease their activity after treatment and hence started to gain weight. Exercise, she said, was one of the best ways to counter this problem.
