Pin it! In the first study of it’s kind, researchers looked specifically at the effects of walking over nearly two decades, as opposed to exercise in general.
The American Cancer Society study analysed 73, 615 postmenopausal women, of whom 4,760 were diagnosed with breast cancer during a 17-year follow-up.
Researchers concluded that walking for an hour a day was associated with a 14 per cent lower risk of the disease, compared to women who were the least active.
