Exercise lowers the risk of breast cancer, studies show
Fox News
Exercise is well-known to benefit a person's physical and mental well-being, and research also suggests exercise may lower the risk of developing breast cancer.
"These results suggest additional benefit of higher-volume aerobic exercise for adiposity outcomes and possibly a lower risk of postmenopausal breast cancer," the study reads. The Cleveland Clinic adds that the "reduction in body fat may play a role in reducing breast cancer risk."
What's more, the National Cancer Institute has noted that physically active women were found to lower their risk of breast cancer by 12-21% versus those least physically active, per a 2016 meta-analysis drawing from 38 cohort studies.
