More details about the recent study.

There are some details from the study in my most recent blog worth discussing.


Intensity and the age you start being physically active don't matter, but duration does.


The greatest impact was on Estrogen Receptor Positive tumors, which are the most common kind (75%).  The greater benefit of exercise was seen in those women who had children.


The only caveat: those who exercised and gained weight lost the benefit.  Staying the same weight and being physically active reduced the risk of breast cancer, but gaining weight, even if exercising, negated the effect of activity in reducing breast cancer risk.




Together we can prevent 75,000 breast cancer cases each year!
