Walk this Way

November 19, 2013 The Power of Pink

I have been over the fundamentals to improving and maintaining breast health many times. But studies continue to explore just how positive certain aspects of the list can be for your health.

Take exercise for example. Exercising can help you improve your health in multiple ways. And help protect you from multiple cancers. Thankfully, the American Cancer society did a study that led to findings that those women who walked an hour a day decreased their chance of breast cancer by 14 percent. Those are huge results.

The study was rather large, surveying over 73,000 post-menopausal women over the course of 17 years.

Walking can also improve hormone levels, glucose metabolism, and reduce chronic inflammation.

It is not hard to try a little harder to stay active. I should preach this to myself. As the colder weather comes, I get more and more lazy. But make sure you are moving. Go walk in the park or at the mall. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk during your lunch break.

It’s important to stay active ladies – get moving!
