Do big muscles lead to the prevention of cancer? That would be great wouldn’t it, get buff and cancer free! Unfortunately studies have yet to show a direct correlation between muscle size and if you will get cancer. But,they have shown that exercise does help with reducing our cancer risk. We all intuitively know that exercise and activity is vitally important to our health, but did you know that exercise plays an important part in cancer prevention? Some of exercises cancer preventative effects include an increase in cardiovascular capacity (or how well our hearts are working), increased pulmonary capacity (how much air our lungs can hold), increase in bowel motility (how freely our digestive system flows), normalization in hormone levels, balances in energy levels, and increase in immune function, providing antioxidant defense, as well as repairing damaged DNA. If you are exercising now, keep it up! If you are not doing an exercise routine, start out small and work your way into a daily habit. And then, yea, maybe you will get some big muscles while reducing your cancer risk.
