Re: Of all the treatments for cancer - this is my favorite!
Well everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm more comfortable making my health decisions off scientific studies.
Here is an exerpt from a study of 14,000+ women:
In this study, we observed an inverse association between
CRF and the risk of breast cancer mortality. Women in the
moderate and high CRF groups demonstrated a 33% and
55% lower risk, respectively, of dying of breast cancer. This
association persisted after adjustment of other available
potential confounders. Women with an exercise capacity less than 8 METs had a nearly threefold higher risk of dying.
I'm at 8.67 METs aiming for 10+ to be in the high CRF group.
Hopefully you all will have to put up with me for a long time, lol!
