Why does working out reduces chances of getting cancer?

133 viewsBiologyOther

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?

You get a lot of tumor cells that your immune system just deals with and they never turn into cancer. Working out improves your immune system.
