Women who exercise regularly for four years after the menopause can “rapidly decrease” their risk of breast cancer, a new study has found.
The study found women who exercised just moderately saw their risk of cancer drop by up to 10 per cent, but those who had abandoned exercise regimes saw no benefit. Even low levels of exercise, would be enough to have an impact if carried out regularly.
It follows work published in March, which bought together 37 studies across 26 years to show regular physical exercise can reduce the risk of breast cancer in women of all ages by around 12 per cent.
