Exercise can assist in the fight against cancer for both healthy women and breast cancer patients. Exercise not only improves the prognosis of breast cancer patients, but also significantly reduces the incidence of breast cancer in healthy women.
Stressed women are more likely to develop breast cancer, and changes in diet and hormone levels are also closely related to the development of breast cancer. Exercise helps to reduce stress and can also activate one’s immune system, making it more active, thus effectively killing cancer cells and inhibiting their growth rate.
The specific mechanism may be that the adrenaline produced by exercise can activate the cancer-suppressing pathway, inactivating the proteins that enable cancer cells to grow and metastasize.
Specific exercise regimens should be tailored to the patient’s physical condition, and a careful consultation with a specialist should be made before starting exercise.
