A new study compared exercising for 30 minutes a day versus 60 minutes on cancer-risk biomarkers. Here’s what it found.
Does this mean that there areWomen who performed 300 minutes of exercise per week had much larger reductions in body fat than those who exercised for less time, said Friedenreich. That’s especially important, since many studies have shown that being overweight or obese increases the risk of developing postmenopausal breast cancer, according to Friedenreich. “Hence, reducing body fat—which is a marker of obesity—is a means of reducing breast cancer risk after menopause,” she said.
The takeaway, according to Friedenreich, is that while getting in 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week is already fantastic—and will help reduce your risk of getting breast cancer—hitting that weekly 300-minute mark offers even more of a benefit. So keep doing your long runs, speed workouts, and daily runs. Even if they’re just a couple of quick miles, they’ll add up.
