Tel Aviv, Israel: The countless benefits of exercise continue to emerge, and now Israeli experts insist that regular exercise can reduce the risk of several types of cancer by up to 70 percent.
The first experiment looked at exercise and the spread of cancer to internal organs, sometimes to the liver, lungs, or lymph nodes. For this, cancer cells (cells) were injected into mice and they were made to exercise. It was found that exercise reduced the spread of cancer and tumor swelling in them.
On the other hand, looking at humans, 20 years of data on 3,000 people were examined in which thousands of people were clinically evaluated before and after exercise.
This is the first study to show a link between exercise and metastases, the way cancer travels through the blood from one organ to another, including the lungs and liver and lymph nodes, says Tel Aviv University professor Karmat Levai.
When the experts looked at the mice's glucose receptors, they found that during intense exercise, they began to absorb more sugar and lose large amounts of glucose. In this way, the snatching of glucose between various important organs and muscles started, which slowed down the process of metastases.
It is known that exercise has positive effects on the whole body but also on the cellular level and it also slows down the spread of cancer. That is why they are advising common people to do aerobic exercises.
