ANTI-AGING TIP OF THE DAY
Exercise Your Anti-Cancer Option
Among women, regular exercise in their 40s slashes breast cancer risk. Among men, routine physical activity exerts a protective effect against prostate cancer.
US National Cancer Institute(Maryland, USA) researchers have found that regular moderate-to-vigorous exercise in the ten-year period preceding menopause may help reduce the risk of breast cancer later in life. Studying 118,899 postmenopausal women...
