Regular Jogging helps to slow the growth of cancer cells, said scientists from the University of Copenhagen. They conducted experiments on mice and found that regular intense exercise help more than two times to reduce the size of malignant tumors.
The secret is the release of adrenaline and activation of immune cells. In principle, similar results can be achieved by artificial injection of adrenaline.
The researchers implanted the rodents with melanoma cells and other forms of cancer. When cancer developed in the animal, they were divided into two groups. One kept running in the wheel and received injections of adrenaline, and the second acted as a control. In the end, after some time with the first group, the size of tumors decreased to 61-67%.
Experts said the main group activation of interleukin-6 (signal substances of the immune system), which included NK cells. It is the immune cells that kill cancer.
