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
Working out improve blood flow = more immune cells patrolling the body.
Working out to improve oxygenation, cancer cells despise high oxygen environments because it inhibits angiogenesis (development of new blood vessels where it can spread)
