Good diet and trampoline exercise 'help lower cancer risk'
11/01/2011 Women looking for ways to protect themselves against the threat of breast cancer may wish to consider trampolines for the garden, as one expert believes exercise to be an important part of staying healthy.
Dr Marilyn Glenville, a nutritionist specialising in female wellbeing, explained how high levels of insulin – associated with a sugary diet – are frequently linked with an increased risk of breast cancer.
"Sugar and refined carbohydrates will cause blood glucose to rise and that will mean that more insulin has to be produced by the pancreas to deal with it," she added.
Dr Glenville said that eating "cruciferous vegetables", such as cauliflower and cabbage, and exercise, which could take place on trampolines for the garden, are some of the best ways for women to boost their cancer defences.
Meanwhile, Dharmesh Patel, chairman of the Eyecare Trust, has this month urged families to eat healthily and exercise outdoors regularly, which could help them avoid vision disorders like cataracts and macular degeneration.
