Women over 30 who exercise more than an hour a week reduce risk of breast cancer
Women over the age of 30 who exercise for more than an hour a week could reduce their risk of getting breast cancer, according to a new medical study.30-06-2009
A group of 4296 women were asked to recall their physical activity levels during four key stages of life: 10 to 15 years old, 15 to 30 years old, 30 to 50 years old, and 50 years old and older. The odds of developing breast cancer did not appear to change in relation to exercise levels between ages 10 and 30, but women above age 30 significantly cut their chances of developing breast cancer if they were more active, the researchers found. The study was led by Lisa Sprod of University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and presented at the American College of Sports Medicine's annual meeting in Seattle. Nigel Denby’s comment: Studies like this are music to my ears- what ever your motivation- to lose weight, to get fit or just to be more healthy they confirm that none of us have the be gym bunnies, run for 20 miles a day or climb mountains- a small change in our day to day routine can make a massive difference and even save our lives.
