“Intense aerobic exercise reduces the risk of metastatic cancer by as much as 73 percent, a recent study has found. It does this by reducing the glucose consumption of the body's internal organs, effectively diverting energy away from the tumor.”

“"Exercise snacks" can combat cancer and boost metabolism. Sometimes getting in a long workout is tough. Fitting "exercise snacks" – short, high-intensity workouts – into your daily routine can aid in cancer prevention and metabolic health.”

“Effects of exercise on circulating tumor cells among patients with resected stage I-III colon cancer - Both low and high-dose exercise may decrease circulating tumor cells in colon cancer patients.”

“00:51:04 - Whether or not low LDL is a risk for cancer – and a variety of other surprising facts about LDL biology you really can't find anywhere else. 00:56:52 - How statins and other lipid-lowering pharmacotherapies work, including their side effects and costs.”

“In this Aliquot, I'm joined by exercise-oncology researcher Dr. Kerry Courneya to identify and prioritize the lifestyle behaviors that account for much of the difference in cancer risk and have the greatest long-term impact.”

“They explain why the classic guideline that "1 minute of vigorous = 2 minutes of moderate" came from calorie burn and METs, not health outcomes; how the new data suggest that vigorous activity may be undervalued by up to 10x; and why even 1–3 minute "exercise snacks" or VILPA bursts scattered through the day can slash one's risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.”

“Exercise The many health benefits associated with exercise are well known and include extension of lifespan and protection against cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.”

“Furthermore, consuming protein after exercise does not elevate IGF-1 levels in the same way as consuming protein in a sedentary state, further demonstrating the protective effects of physical activity. Exercise enhances immune surveillance, reduces chronic inflammation, and improves insulin sensitivity, all of which lower cancer risk and enhance longevity.”

“Exercise intensity also affects blood flow, creating shear force and playing a critical role in metastatic cancer resistance. One quality of cancer cells is that they sometimes have vulnerabilities that healthy cells do not, such as susceptibility to mechanical stress.”

“The IGF-1 pathway, in particular, plays key roles in growth and is strongly associated with cancer. But it also participates in the repair of muscles and neurons and promotes brain health. Directing IGF-1 toward its more beneficial processes through exercise may offer protection from its deleterious effects.”
