Of all the cancers that affect humans, one in particular is the most widespread and diagnoses of which are increasing. Research is focusing not only on treatment strategies for this pathology, but also on prevention techniques. And on the latter side, a very encouraging discovery has recently been made. It sounds incredible but walking fast would help fight this widespread and terrible cancer. This was discovered by researchers from the University of California, who published the study in the prestigious Cancer Research journal. But for effective prevention of this cancer, how long does it take to walk fast? Let’s find out in the article.
According to the latest data, there is a form of cancer that affects about 23,000 Italians every year. This is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men on the European continent and in the United States. We are talking about prostate cancer. The age at which it is diagnosed decreases. The same goes for mortality. Ever new drug discoveries help neutralize the disease. At the congress of the ASCO, American Society of Clinical Oncology, the radiopharmaceutical 177Lu-PSMA-617 was presented. This revolutionary drug promises to dramatically reduce prostate cancer mortality.

Researchers at the University of California have not discovered a drug, but an activity that would slow the progression of the tumor. According to the results of this study, walking fast would be able to stop the spread of cancer. The experiment involved over 1,400 men, all with prostate cancer. The outcome of the study gave very encouraging results, even if the sample number is still small. The group of those who practiced brisk walking for at least 3 hours a week had a lower spread of the tumor. Furthermore, in this group there were fewer deaths, equal to 57%, compared to those who did not practice physical activity.
These results once again show that physical activity can be very useful not only to stay in shape, but also to combat various diseases. Walking briskly not only fights obesity with what it causes, such as risk of heart attack, stroke, etc. but it also fights prostate cancer. Of course, you don’t have to wait until you’re obese or have cancer to start walking. A study by researchers from the American University of Harvard led to a sensational result. To reduce the risk of mortality, a person must take a precise number of daily steps. Basically, if you don’t take these steps every day, your risk of dying increases.
