How does exercise help preven cancer?

Question

I just don't see the connection.

Answer 1

It's an indirect connection. Exercise removes toxins from your system which, if left there for any length of time, may cause infection. Infections, though they come and go, are usually not that big of a problem until they become chronic infection (this means the infection remains in the same place for a long time, possibly years). And with chronic infection, this invites cancer because that has been scientifically proven. Also, exercise helps with circulation of the blood. The blood is what carries toxins away eliminates from your body including through the pores of your skin. There are other factors that influence cancer such as diet. For instance, a poor diet (one with a lot of white processed flour, processed sugar, and saturated fats) will also result in infection regardless of what exercise program you are on.

Answer 2

Exercise will not prevent cancer. An excellent example of someone who is physically fit but still had cancer is Lance Armstrong. Exercise did not prevent him from having cancer. But being physically fit helped Armstrong survive his cancer.

Cancer is an ancient disease that affects everyone, at any age, any sex, any race, and irregardless of if they exercise or eat healthy foods, smoke, or don't smoke. No one is exempt. It is more difficult to survive cancer if you have other health problems, if you're over weight, if you can't breath well because you're a smoker. The healthier and stronger you are initially the more likely you can fight cancer.

Which is one of the meanings for Lance's message - to be healthy mentally and physically than you must . . . "Live strong."
