A British expert named a non-obvious way to prevent cancer recurrence

The head of the British Cancer Research Foundation, Michelle Mitchell, said that certain types of physical activity help prevent cancer recurrence. She named a non-obvious way to reduce the likelihood of the disease returning to the Daily Mirror.

Mitchell described a study that found that regular exercise reduced the risk of cancer recurrence by 17 percent, and the risk of death from any cause was 18 percent lower than for those who did not exercise.

"Exercise has many health benefits and this study shows it can help people with cancer live longer and healthier lives," the expert said. Mitchell added that the most noticeable results came from aerobic and strength training. At the same time, she emphasized that the choice of exercises should be individual. She listed walking, running, swimming, cycling or dancing as suitable options.
