Dr. Alpa Patel concluded that walking, single-handedly sustains strength and diminishes chances of breast cancer, customarily in post-menopausal women. Throughout 17 years, a series of questionnaires have been completed and over 73,000 are involved in the experiment. Studies conclude: “Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.”
Unfortunately, cancer still haunts the lives of many, but it may be possibly contained. The world is in the midst of a revolutionary change that can benefit numerous ill-ridden cancer patients. This can be classified as the incipient of an improved, healthier world that will no longer have to seize innocent patients’ lives to surrender at the result of cancer.
