I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.

I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!

I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.

Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

Exercise And Breast Cancer

A National Cancer Institute study showed that exercise cuts a woman’s risk of breast cancer. However, it must be vigorous exercise. Also, this only showed results in women who were not overweight. A possible explanation for the weight problem is that overweight and obese women found moderate exercises more taxing than non-overweight women and misreported it as vigorous exercise.

The study analyzed data collected from over 32,000 postmenopausal women over 11 years as part of the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project

Participants were asked about their exercise habits and their activities were subsequently rated as either moderate or vigorous.

Moderate, or “non-vigorous” activities include:

  • Light housework such as vacuuming of washing clothes
  • Home repairs such as painting
  • Mowing the lawn
  • Light sports of exercise
  • Walking, hiking, or light jogging

No association was found between non-vigorous activity and breast cancer.
Activities rated as "vigorous" include:

  • Heavier housework such as scrubbing floors or washing windows
  • Digging in the garden or chopping wood
  • Strenuous sports or exercise
  • Running, fast jogging, or aerobics
The decrease in breast cancer seen in women with a lot of vigorous exercise was small, but had a more pronounced effect in women who were not obese or overweight. The risk of breast cancer decreased by about 30% when women of normal weight who exercised vigorously were compared to women who did no vigorous activity at all.

My Views

Regardless of whether you are overweight or not, exercise helps to protect you against breast cancer and other forms of cancer as well. Many of us look at exercise as a way to lose weight. However, exercise does much more. Research has shown that every minute of exercise yields two minutes of longevity.  Exercise, next to calorie restriction, is by far the best investment in anti-aging.
