Exercise is your best insurance to lower your risk of cancer.
The mechanism is that it reduces insulin and IGF-1, and they are both signals for cancer cells to grow. Therefore their diminishment is a very good protective factor against cancer.
Exercise decreases inflammation which drives cancer progression.
Exercise enhances immune function, boosting your Natural Killer (NK) cells to destroy cancer cells.

Exercise also increases cardiovascular health, has metabolic benefits, muscular benefits, increases bone density and improves mood.

Most Americans will be diagnosed with a chronic disease. If you've been exercising in the years leading up to diagnosis can limit severity and improve outcome.

The window of exercise is 150 to 300 minutes per week at moderate intensity. Intense exercise is worth 2 minutes!

Aerobic, resistance training and high intensity are all beneficial. Frequency is best as many days as possible if you have been diagnosed with cancer to prevent circulating tumor shedding cells from causing metastasis. It is the shear force that exercise causes in the bloodstream that helps to kill these tumor shedding cells.

Exercise has an excellent psychological effect on cancer patients making them feel less stress and improving mood.

Many large randomized control studies have occurred comparing exercise to SSRI drugs given for mood disorders. They've found exercise to work as well or better and of course with no dangerous side effects associated with SSRIs and extra benefits beyond mood stabilization of improving heart health, muscle, bone and metabolic markers.

A great study following breast cancer patients who exercised during chemotherapy had a lower risk of recurrence of their breast cancer or dying from it as they followed them for 8 years. The cost of recurrence of breast cancer is 1 million dollars! Did you know?

So let's start exercising and really make a difference in your health and diminish your risk of cancer. It could save your life and cost you nothing.
