Danish researchers, in collaboration with the Danish Football Association, have released a White Paper that describes football as an effective recipe in the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases.
A “weekend warrior” approach to physical activity — getting 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity over one to two days instead of throughout the week — improved health and lowered the risk of death, finds a new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
CNIO researchers discover that, in mice that eat a lot of fat, cancer cells travelling through the blood surround themselves with platelets, which act as an armor-like protection as they spread.
In addition, in animals with a fatty diet it is easier for tumor cells to 'nest' in other organs and give rise to metastasis of the primary tumor.
“These results anticipate a future in which dietary changes, together with the control of platelet activity, will complement antitumor treatments,” says Héctor Peinado, of the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO).
The study is published in 'Nature Communications’.
