A new report published in the the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that exercise can prevent breast cancer.

The report focused on data which was taken from a total of 62 studies.

They found that women who exercise had a 25% reduced risk of developing breast cancer compared to women who did not exercise.

Family history of breast cancer was also thrown out the window with exercise, as doing some physical activity threw the family history risk away as well.

The only time exercise did not help prevent breast cancer was in obese women.
