Cancer occurs when cell splitting, for growth or regeneration, doesn’t happen correctly. So more cell regeneration means higher probability of getting cancer.
Now when you workout you are growing a muscle meaning you are creating new cells which in turn creates higher probability of getting cancer.
So why do we say working out/ active lifestyle reduces cancer chances?
In: Biology
I assume you men working out and not working out. Unfortunately there is no direct correlation between the two because this who do not work out will be highly likely to have different lifestyle choices – environment, hobbies, smoking, alcohol, diet, amount of exercise, weight et al. All lifestyle choices will have physiological effects, e.g. being vegan you are forced to take supplements to avoid really nasty things happening to you, some are “good” and some are “bad”.
someone who works out is likely, although not necessarily so, to consume more “good” than “bad”
