Women can reduce breast cancer mortality by doing one thing

According to surveys, a certain amount of exercise per week can help reduce the mortality rate of breast cancer. Cancer patients also need exercise, and proper exercise can bring good therapeutic effects to the disease.

Women with breast cancer who walk at least an hour a week are more likely to beat the disease than those who do not exercise at all. If you reduce your physical activity after being diagnosed with breast cancer, you may also reduce your chances of survival.

"Exercise can prevent many diseases, including breast cancer, but we found that women who exercise regularly after being diagnosed with breast cancer can also reduce their risk of dying from breast cancer and having a recurrence of breast cancer," said Holmes, a researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston who led the study. Regular exercise can reduce the secretion of estrogen and increase the probability of survival. Estrogen has the effect of promoting the growth of the most common type of breast cancer.

Studies have found that women who walk 3-5 hours a week have a 50% lower risk of dying from breast cancer than women who exercise less than an hour a week or do not exercise at all. Walking for as little as one hour a week improved survival, but exercising for more than five hours a week did not improve survival any further.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all people should get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day, five days a week. Breast cancer patients who follow this advice survive longer.
