A new study from Edith Cowan University suggests that just one workout—whether resistance training or high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—can help the body fight cancer. 😮💪
Researchers found that even a single session boosted levels of myokines, proteins released by muscles during exercise that can suppress cancer cell growth. In breast cancer survivors, this effect reduced cancer cell growth by up to 30%.
The study measured myokine levels before, immediately after, and 30 minutes after exercise, showing a consistent rise across both workout types. This suggests that exercise can act like medicine, not only improving fitness but also offering real biological protection against cancer.
Researchers also emphasized the importance of long-term exercise. Consistently building lean muscle and reducing fat mass can lower inflammation—a major driver of cancer progression and recurrence.
Unlike dieting alone, exercise produces protective proteins and reduces harmful inflammatory mark...
