WASHINGTON (AP) - Researchers say girls can help protect
themselves from breast cancer later in life just by exercising.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis say a study of
65,000 nurses has found that those who began a lifetime of exercise
when they were as young as 12 were 23 percent less likely to
develop postmenopausal breast cancer.
The study finds that three hours a week of running or other
vigorous exercise, or simply walking 13 hours a week have provided
the best results.
Writing in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, lead
author Doctor Graham Colditz says the study indicates that
"sustained physical activity from adolescence through the adult
years" lowers a woman's chances of developing breast cancer.
