Its getting clearer that a wide variety of factors come into play for the prevention of recurrence. This includes the fats we eat and also - "energy balance" as eluded here. Exercise is a key ingredient to the mix. In fact, I believe that if a person asked me "I can only do one thing - what should it be"? I would tell them to walk 5-6 hours per week. It's not that I think diet isn't important too - I just think exercise is too (51%). Althought eatting toooooo many fruits and veggies is much better than too much cake and cookies (just not as much fun)!
