Alright, here’s a pretty awesome reason to get off the couch and hit the gym: scientists say just one intense workout can actually help slow breast cancer growth. No joke.
A study from down under—Australia, baby—had breast cancer survivors do some high-intensity interval training or heavy lifting. Then, they took blood samples before and after the workouts and tested them on cancer cells in the lab.
Guess what? Only the blood after exercise had special muscle proteins that told those cancer cells to back off or even die. Interval training, with those quick bursts of hard work, seemed to pack the biggest punch.
So yeah, your sweat might just be your body’s secret weapon. Next time you’re thinking about skipping the gym, remember: one killer workout could literally help fight cancer. Mic drop.
