Exercise Keeps Breast Cancer Away

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'll be focusing one of each week's daily tips on ways you can protect yourself from the second leading cancer killer of women.

Exercise Keeps Breast Cancer Away!


For many cancer survivors, the fear of a recurrence — often much more serious than the first go-around — remains uppermost on their minds. Studies have shown, however, that survivors can fight back with exercise! Moderate exercise, just 30 minutes each day, can slash the risk that cancer will return by as much as 25 to 50 percent!

Researchers say that any exercise will do, including walking, jogging, swimming, and biking. But don't forget to clear your routine with your doctor, because some more strenuous exercises may be off-limits after chemotherapy or breast cancer surgery. While the experts don't know exactly why exercise halts cancer's return so effectively, they speculate that when you strengthen the overall immune system, your body is better able to defend itself. So strap on those shoes and walk off your fears of getting cancer again!

i have usually just taken information to heart without asking/knowing why. The era of my life that i am presently living is one that demands that i know why one does what they do.

So- why would one exercise to aid in breast cancer prevention.

Well, because the breasts are part of the lympathic system...glands, and other lympe nodes. This system is kinda like the cardiac system. It has capilaries and veins like the cardiac system. There is a major difference in these two systems. The cardiac system has a pump, the heart. The lympathic system has nothing but the action that you cause your body. It is important to activate the lympathic system by moving your body. As you move your body in an active way you are helping to flush infections/antagens from your body.

Cardiac stuff isn't just for the cardiovasulor system.....

Oh, yes, and that is precisely why the first mini-trampolines that were introduced to the market were called Lymphasizers. Dr. West, Karol Truman, and Delmont Truman were major players in this venture and an entire industry was birthed. Mini-tramps are big business today in the exercise world.

Just wondering here if you are still jumping your rope?

Happy lymphasizing!

Belinda, at this phase of your life, you are adding understanding which is the why.

Yours for joyful jumping!

Ya know - i am so duckie that i really don't have to know *why*. i just simply need to know to do. i hated geometry, cause i thought it was senseless to have to do four sets to prove that 2+2=4. i couldn't understand why in the world someone would go to all that trouble just to *prove* something.

Understanding is powerful; however, i wonder if those who focus on having to understand something have a real struggle in the area of trust. i use to be able to trust more easily. It seems the more i am being pushed to have to understand is the more i argue with understanding why with God. i don't always like the page i am on today.

Somedays - i really miss my yesterday.
