The immune system becomes more efficient and effective at detecting and eliminating abnormal cells, reducing the risk of cancer development and progression.
Physical activity also helps to lower inflammation in the body, which is a key factor in the development of cancer. Chronic inflammation can create an environment that is conducive to the growth and spread of cancer cells. By engaging in regular exercise, we can dampen this inflammatory response and create a hostile environment for cancer cells to thrive.
