Exercise
and Cancer Prevention
Have you made your New Year’s resolution?
I know I have. And if you’re like me, exercising is at the
top of the list.
You know exercise doesn’t just help you fit into those old
clothes from college, it also does wonders for your health.
Most of us have heard that exercise helps us lower our risk
of developing many common health problems: heart disease,
high blood pressure, diabetes. But did you know that consistent
exercise can have major positive effects on your chance
of developing cancer?
Physically active women can reduce their chance of developing
breast cancer by one third. And exercise can reduce the
risk of developing colon, kidney, and esophageal cancer
too.
So start on your New Year’s resolution today: Take 30 minutes
and go for a run, brisk walk, or jog. It’ll help you fit
into those old clothes, and it could save your life!
Exercise and Cancer Prevention
Exercise may lower your risk of developing breast cancer.
There are a number of research studies that link exercise
and breast cancer prevention. Although not all study results
indicate that exercise helps prevent cancer, the general
conclusion is that increasing your level of physical activity
provides some protection against developing breast cancer.
Exercise has also been shown to lower risks for other cancers
such as colon, prostate, and endometrial cancer.
Most of the studies suggest that the higher your level of
physical activity, the greater the benefit of protecting
yourself against developing cancer.
How Exercise May Help Prevent Cancer
We don’t know exactly how exercise prevents cancer, but
one theory focuses on the production of estrogen in overweight
women. Estrogen has been linked to the development of breast
cancer. After menopause, most of a woman’s estrogen is produced
by the fat in her body. In fact, almost 80 percent of breast
cancer incidents occur in women after menopause. Being overweight
or obese causes a rise in estrogen production. Exercise
can help a woman lose fat, which causes her body to lower
the amount of estrogen produced.
Physical activity may also help to lower the risk of colon
cancer by improving bowel function. Regular bowel movements
prevent potentially cancerous toxins from remaining in the
body for too long.
Exercise may also improve the immune system, which may lower
the risk of colon cancer.
How Much Exercise is Needed?
Most doctors and researchers recommend 30 minutes of moderate
activity per day, five or more days per week.
Moderate activity can include walking, using a stationary
bike or stair-climbing machine, light calisthenics, weight
lifting, dancing, or general home exercises. Remember that
you don’t have to start exercising 30 minutes per day; it
is a goal that you want to work toward.
For tips on getting started and choosing an activity, the
Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) has an excellent
web site.
