Docs and scientifists of letsrun, normally I see articles like this and don't think anything of them, but this looks fascinating. What do you think?
It demonstrates how doing high-intensity aerobic exercise, which derives its energy from sugar, can significantly reduce the risk of metastatic cancer.
Levy said "Our study is the first to investigate the impact of exercise on the internal organs in which metastases usually develop, such as the lungs, liver, and lymph nodes.
"Examining the cells of these organs we found a rise in the number of glucose receptors during high-intensity aerobic activity – increasing glucose intake and turning the organs into effective energy-consumption machines, very much like the muscles.
"We assume that this happens because the organs must compete for sugar resources with the muscles, which are known to burn large quantities of glucose during physical exercise.
"Consequently, if cancer develops, the fierce competition over glucose reduces the availability of energy that is critical to metastasis. Moreover, when a person exercises regularly, this condition becomes permanent: the tissues of internal organs change and become similar to muscle tissue.
“Exercise changes the whole body, so the cancer cannot spread, and the primary tumor also shrinks in size,” said Levy.
