How might physical activity reduce your risks of cancer?

Some proposed effects include:

• Lowering the levels of hormones, such as estrogen. [breast, colon]
• Preventing high blood levels of insulin. [breast, colon]
• Reduce inflammation.
• Improving immune system function.
• Altering the metabolism of bile acids, decreasing exposure of the GI tract to these suspected carcinogens. [colon]
