Exercise may prevent breast CANCER.

A day?????!!

I think it is a week.

Christ, Im stuffed then.I seriously need to change my job!!

The list of risk factors for breast cancer is long:

The risk of breast cancer is increased by several factors that cannot be easily changed:
Having your first period before age 12
Not having children or having your first birth after age 30
Late age at menopause
Family history of breast cancer

Other factors that increase risk, however, can be changed by:
Limiting the use of hormones (hormone replacement therapy)
Reducing alcohol consumption
Breastfeeding
Avoiding obesity
Being physically active

Some studies also suggest that diets high in vegetables and fruits decrease the risk for breast cancer, although this evidence is much weaker than for other cancer sites. Alcohol increases risk to some extent, however, and exercising longer and harder may be linked to a reduced risk of breast cancer.

The best advice to reduce the risk of breast cancer is to:
Engage in vigorous physical activity at least 4 hours a week
Avoid or limit your intake of alcohol to no more than one drink per day
Reduce lifetime weight gain through the combination of limiting your calories and exercising regularly.
