Women who exercise regularly in their ladies fitness clothing are less likely to develop breast cancer than their sedentary counterparts, the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has suggested.

A report released this week by the WCRF asserts that around 10,000 cases of breast and bowel cancer could be prevented every year in the UK if people were more physically active.

Dr Rachel Thompson, deputy head of science for the WCRF, said that people do not need to go to the gym every day in order to decrease their risk of developing cancer, they can achieve this by going for brisk walks.

"By taking up walking as a hobby or even walking to the shops instead of taking the bus or car, people can make a real difference to their health," she added.

Last month, researchers from the University of Alberta suggested that yoga can aid in the recovery of breast cancer survivors.
