<i>Moderate exercise tied to lower breast cancer risk</i>
Women who exercise moderately may be less likely than their inactive peers to develop breast cancer after menopause, a recent study by of scientists of University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill suggests. And it did not take a vigorous workout; regular exercise at any intensity level was linked to a lower breast cancer risk. Researchers found that of more than 3,000 women with and without breast cancer, those who'd exercised during their childbearing years were less likely to develop the cancer after menopause. The same was true when women took up exercise after menopause. The findings, reported in the journal Cancer, add to a number of past studies tying regular exercise to lower breast cancer odds.
