Exercise

So the other day I went to the local clinic for an appointment and while I waited and waited for the doctor to come in the room I picked up a magazine. In this magazine (sorry I can't remember the name, it was living something) I found an article titled "Exercise and Breast Cancer, more good news" and it said the following:
"Numerous studies have shown that physical activity may help protect against the development of breast cancer and its progression. Now a new, large-scale study, conducted by researchers at the University of South Carolina, has found that women who have high fitness levels are less likely to die from breast cancer. "Some of the biological effects of physical activity that may play a role are the regulation of hormones, lower rates of obesity, and less inflammation," says Steven Blair, a coauthor of the study and a professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health. The study followed more than 14,000 women from 1973 to 2003. It found that those with the lowest fitness levels (as measured by treadmill tests) were nearly three times more likely to die from breast cancer than those with high fitness levels. Women don't have to run marathons to gain this protective effect. Blair recommends a commonsence weekly exercise routine: five hours of moderate activity, such as walking, or two and a half hours of vigorous activity, such as jogging."
Isn't that great news! I have recently made it a new goal of mine to work out daily, wether its my favorite tv work out, Turbo Jam, or a jog on the treadmill, listening to jammin' music. I try to make exercise a part of my daily routine. I am currently taking 21 credits in college and I can promise you if I can find time to work out anyone can!! Which brings me to my next point sorry to those who are regular readers of my blog, I haven't had a lot of time to blog, but I will try to do better. I just get really busy with all my homework! Thanks to those who read my blog I really hope to inspire people to exercise, or get a mammogram, or donate to a breast cancer foundation. Exercise doesn't only help protect against breast cancer it gives you more energy and makes you feel better about yourself! What person doesn't want that? So make it a goal to exercise!
