I thought studies showed that women could lower their risk of breast cancer by keeping physically active. Now I see that recreational activity may not lower my risk of breast cancer. Is this true?
Recent research seems to show that recreational pursuits may not lower your risk of breast cancer. But remember, physical activity--even just 10 minutes worth--has been shown to be beneficial to your health. Recreational activity can improve your muscle tone, help keep your weight down, boost your immune system, and even lift your mood!
Scientists admit they don't know what it is about certain activities that helps reduce the risk of cancer. More studies may yet find which recreational activities impact breast cancer risk the most. Until more is known, stay active at home, work, and play.
