Yes, it's never too late to start exercising.
A recent article in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention demonstrated that exercise, such as walking or the equivalent, 4 hours per week lowered the risk for breast cancer within 4 years of starting. Furthermore, the risk went back up to the usual risk soon after a woman quit exercising.
We have known for some time that women who regularly exercise have fewer breast cancers, but this study, following almost 60,000 postmenopausal women, demonstrated how quickly the benefit is accrued and that it is never to late to get the cancer reduction benefit of exercise.
We can also measure the amount of the benefit with the BioPhotonic Scanner! See my blog of January 9, 2014. The scan score will move up because regular exercise helps wash out free radicals that damage tissue and DNA.
Let's get walking!
You or someone you know may be one of the 90,000 breast cancers prevented this year.
Remember this is general medical content and not personal medical advice, but if you don't know your Skin Carotenoid Score, you should come in to get a scan; 512-451-5788.
