Researchers at the University of North Carolina have found that women who are highly active–whether walking, running or anything inbetween–appear to be significantly protected from breast cancer. Those who exercised 2 hours on most days had 30% lower risk of developing breast cancer compared to those who got little or no activity. They also found that substantial post-menopausal weight gain seemed to reduce the benefits of regular exercise.
