Exercise Cuts The Risk Of Breast Cancer.

Two Studies recently looked at the effects of exercise on breast cancer risk.

One of them looked at high intensity exercise, and the other at lower intensity exercise.

Guess what? Both found a reduction in the risk of breast cancer by 30%

The key is consistent regular exercise!

There are many protective effects of exercise. I don't think it is worth only dwelling on what we are seeking to avoid and the negative consequences of not being active.

But it is a reality, and if avoiding those big scary negatives gets people to take some action then i'm all for the reminders.

Sadly though i don't think enough people are willing to sit up and take notice until it is nearly too late and they get a drastic wake up call. Even then, how many people will just rely on surgery and medication vs taking the time, effort, and responsibility to look after themselves?

It's time we reclaimed more of a physical culture for all and for life - not just for the high achievers and people who naturally seem to enjoy (or have they just formed a habit?) exercise.

Be an everyday athlete and enjoy the feeling of being a healthy physical human being!
