Moderate daily exercise significantly reduced the risk of death from cardiovascular disease among female cancer survivors, a new study found. Each additional 2,500 steps per day was associated with a 34% further reduction in death risk.

The article from Healthline discusses a study presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual meeting, which suggests that regular walking and overall physical activity can significantly benefit heart health in female cancer survivors. The research, involving over 10,000 women, found that those who walked briskly for at least 30 minutes daily or engaged in similar levels of physical activity had a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. This is particularly important as cancer survivors often face an increased risk of heart issues due to treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. The study highlights the importance of integrating regular movement into the lifestyle of cancer survivors to mitigate these risks, emphasizing that even moderate activities like walking can make a substantial difference in their cardiovascular health outcomes.
