Mudanças simples no estilo de vida...

... previniriam o cancro (estudo Irlanda do Norte):
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/easy-lifestyle-changes-could-prevent-3500-cancer-cases-36733456.html
Citando:
"A study carried out by Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has revealed that 38% of all cancers diagnosed here each year could have been avoided.


It highlights the well-known dangers of smoking, with almost half of all cases of cancer each year put down to tobacco.


However, it has also raised the risk of developing the killer disease from being overweight and obese - with 572 new cancer cases attributed to this.


Obesity causes 13 types of cancer, including bowel, breast, womb and kidney, and the results suggest that more than one in 20 cancer cases could be prevented by maintaining a healthy weight."

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."

Unhealthy lifestyles of men are written into their sperm, study finds - Telegraph

Unhealthy lifestyles of men are written into their sperm, study finds - Telegraph

Citando:
"A new study suggests that the unhealthy lifestyles of men are written into their sperm and could be passed on to their children."

Sabia-se que as mães deviam ter cuidado durante a gravidez. Os pais nem por isso. Este mecanismo é muito pouco conhecido (o que é que herdamos dos pais e o que está sob nosso controlo?) mas a investigação tem avançado neste campo. ´
