Regular physical activity has been shown to influence cancer risk, progression, and survivorship. While exercise is not a cure for cancer, extensive research indicates that it can help reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and improve outcomes and quality of life for those diagnosed.
-Lowering the levels of hormones levels.
-Preventing high blood levels of insulin.
-Regular physical activity leads to decreased levels of inflammatory markers (such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6).
-Improving immune system function (enhancing the circulation of immune cells, including natural killer cells, T lymphocytes, and macrophages)
-Reducing the time it takes for food to travel through the digestive system.
-Helping to prevent obesity, which is a risk factor for many cancers.
