Exercise and Breast Cancer

Posted by georgel on Sep 12, 2009 |

Just a quick post today to share with you a study you might find insightful.

Statistics and studies relating moneygram california to breast cancer always interest me because I have a vested interest in learning as much as I can. Mainly because:

I have a wife.
I have a mom.
I have two little girls.
I have a sister.

Most of my readers/clients are female.

I live on Long Island, where the breast cancer rates are very high.

The most recent study I’ve come across, the Nurses Health Study, was published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA).

The study tracked nearly 3000 women for up to 14 years after being diagnosed with breast cancer and found that exercise reduced the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence and increased the odds of living longer.

One of the reasons I find this study to be credible is the sample size and longevity of the study. 14 years is a long time and I think the findings are very promising and should not be taken lightly.

The author of the study said that “recurrence rates and deaths from breast cancer decreased up to 40% among those who exercised most, compared with those who were sedentary. Brisk walking for cialis for order 3-5 hours per week – about 30 minutes a day – netted the biggest benefits.”

So if you didn’t have a good enough reason to exercise regularly before, I hope this helps you get started!

If walking is not your cup of tea or if you want to take it “to the next level” and focus on losing cheap levitra online vardenafil fat while you’re exercising (walking might be good, but it’s not going to help you really accelerate fat loss), try a full body workout. For some sample full body workouts geared ampicillin online towards fat loss you can check out my “cheap diet pill target=”_blank”>Fat Loss Journey” post and you’ll get a bunch of free ones.

Yours in health and fitness,
