Study Finds Exercise Supercharges Gut to Fight Cancer

University of Pittsburgh researchers discovered exercise changes gut microbes in ways that help shrink tumors and improve survival rates. Their study found active mice produced more formate, a gut-derived compound that boosts cancer-fighting immune cells. When the microbiome was destroyed with antibiotics, exercise lost its anti-cancer effect, underscoring the gut’s critical role. Scientists believe these findings could lead to new strategies that pair physical activity with cancer therapies for stronger results.

Experts call it a simple yet powerful way to reset the mind and reconnect with others.
