30-Minute Workout Slashes Cancer Cell Growth by 30%.

In 2025, Francesco Bettariga and a team from Edith Cowan University studied breast cancer survivors. They tested a single 30-minute session of resistance training (like weights) or high-intensity interval training (HIIT), measuring myokines—proteins from muscles that fight cancer. Blood samples were taken before, right after, and 30 minutes post-workout to see effects on cancer cells in a lab.

The workouts boosted myokines, cutting cancer cell growth by 20-30%. Consistent exercise also improved body composition, reducing inflammation linked to cancer recurrence by dropping fat and building muscle (up to 15-20% less inflammation markers).

Do a 30-minute resistance or HIIT workout regularly to potentially boost anti-cancer proteins and cut inflammation.
