A new study has confirmed again that exercise, along with good nutrition, plays a crucial role in maintaining health and fighting diseases.

"This study is the first to demonstrate that there is a beneficial effect of exercise training against progression of liver carcinogenesis in rats fed a low-fat diet, but not in rats fed a high-fat diet. That high-fat diet regimen mimics the food habits of humans living in Western countries," he said.
Dr. Terry Graham, editor of the report, said that the authors' findings are an important illustration of how both nutrition and activity levels impact on health issues.
"We often think that these lifestyle factors only influence good health but this work demonstrates that the quality of nutrition and the degree of activity both influence ill health in terms of the progression of liver cancer.
"This investigation highlights that we can dramatically alter our health status via exercise and nutrition," he said.
The study is published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (APNM).
