Strict diet and exercise helps beat breast cancer

Researchers say that patients who are newly diagnosed with cancer should exercise and stick to a diet, as shedding kilos is the best way to fight the disease.

It was found that a daily brisk walk of 25 minutes almost halved the mortality among breast cancer patients.

But a waistline larger than 35 inches increased death rates by almost 33%.

Results of trials showed ‘powerful’ and ‘groundbreaking’ evidence of the benefits of a slim waistline, with weightloss and exercise helping even those with advanced cancer.

Losing 5% of body weight may lead to a 20% increase in breast cancer survival, experts say.
