Have you ever had a thought that exercise can reduce skin cancer too? In mice it is doing so. It came out in a new study where two groups of mice were exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) light. The group, with a running wheel, developed thirty-two percent fewer tumors than the group which had no gym access. The tumors developed more slowly in the previous group.
Further research not yet published to show any possible reason for the difference. Exercise improves a process called UVB-induced apoptosis, i.e. programmed cell death. It kills sun-damaged cells. While UVB activates the development of tumors, exercise works against the effect by invigorating the death of the rising cancer cells.
Several researches have already revealed that exercise advances the overall health of people who have cancer.
