A recent study published in Breast Cancer Research Journal, showed that those who exercised vigorously at least have the chance of developing breast cancer, exactly 30% less.
The researchers followed nearly 32.269 women in post-menopausal period of eleven years and found that exercise is a good way to prevent breast cancer.
Physical activities that were identified as “vigorous” are those such as running, mountain biking, practice aerobics. But household activities such as intensive care of the garden, cutting wood or cleaning the floor.
In fact that activity was “softer” as walking, or go for a walk on the bike, had no effect in preventing breast cancer.
It is important to note that sport as a preventive activity in relation to this terrible disease is effective only in thin women, not those who are overweight or obese.
Scientists say some of the explanations of the benefits of vigorous exercise are: the reduction of growth factors of potential tumors, improved immune function and decreasing chronic inflammations.
