Yoga can help stop cancer spreading or returning, according to new study

Cancer sufferers should do yoga to stop the disease from spreading or returning, according to a new study.

The research suggests that taking part in the low-impact exercise can reduce inflammation - a key factor that triggers cancer to grow, latest evidence suggests. Inflammation was found to be a key trigger of cancer growth around the body.

Previous studies have suggested that older people who develop cancer are around 18 per cent less likely to die if they remain active during their illness. Additionally, inactivity is known to increase risk of developing cancer due to health and weight implications related to lack of fitness and exercise.
