Exercício físico como a melhor maneira de evitar a reincidência de cancro da mama


Mais uma excelente revisão das notícias (e estudo) que referem que o exercício físico é a melhor maneira de prevenir a reincidência do cancro da mama. As conclusões do perito do NHS são que o estudo é interessante do ponto de vista de analisar o impacto do estilo de vida sobre o cancro da mama apesar de ter algumas limitações (bias effect, etc.):

Citando:
"The researchers' review of evidence found that physical activity had the strongest reported effect on reducing the risk of breast cancer recurring and dying from breast cancer.

Following the recommended 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week guidance, as well as two to three weekly sessions of strength training, can help reduce the risk of breast cancer returning and death from the disease.

The effects of treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy can take a toll on motivation to exercise. But clinical guidelines recommend a gradual return to regular exercise."
