Yoga may reduce the risk of breast cancer by;
- Stimulating lymph flow,
- Strengthening the endocrine and immune systems,
- Improving our attitude toward the body, according to Yoga Journal.

“Chemotherapy, surgery, and some medications can rob you of mental acuity,” says
Sue Cohen, a 54-year-old accountant and breast-cancer survivor (Time magazine), “but yoga helps compensate for the loss.”
Medical pioneer Dr. Dean Ornish has launched a new study about the effects of yoga on men with prostate cancer. So far the data is encouraging, but the study is still in process.
