People who regularly run or engage in other aerobic exercise cut their chance of developing some cancers by 72 percent, according to research from Tel Aviv University

根據特拉維夫大學的研究，經常跑步或從事其他有氧運動的人，罹患某些癌症的機率降低了72％。

Aerobic exercise makes some organs so efficient at grabbing sugar that is in the body that tumors are left starved of glucose, and often unable to grow and spread, the peer-reviewed study published last week suggested.

上週發表、經過同儕審查的研究表明，有氧運動使一些器官有效吸收體內糖分，以至於腫瘤缺乏葡萄糖，往往無法生長和擴散。

It focused on metastatic cancer, meaning cancer that has spread from its original location in the body. Researchers believe there are also strong benefits in preventing primary tumors, but focused on metastatic cancer as it is Israel’s leading cause of death.

該研究專注於轉移性癌症，即從體內原位擴散的癌症。研究人員認為，對於預防原發性腫瘤也有很大好處，但重點是轉移性癌症，因為它是以色列的主要死因。
