Everyone knows there are benefits to exercising and being active, but recently science has shed some light on just how helpful exercise can be – especially when it comes to breast cancer. In fact, there is strong evidence indicating physical activity is associated with reduced risk of certain types of cancers, including colon, lung and breast cancer. According to estimates from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), it's estimated that 33,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented each year in the United States by maintaining a healthy body weight.* Other recent studies have shown women who gained 20 or more pounds after age 18 had an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. Even after diagnosis, physical activity has been linked to higher survival rates.

So how do you determine if your body weight is healthy? One method is to measure your body mass index (BMI). This is a comparison of your weight to height ratio. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered healthy. Though this method is by no means perfect it can give women a general idea.

What's the takeaway? Get out and be active. Whether it's throwing on some workout gear and heading to the gym, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Every little bit helps. There's no better time, and now there's no better reason.
