Study links teen physical activity to lower breast cancer risk

A new study found that teenage girls who do at least two hours of fun physical activities like sports or dancing each week may have a lower chance of getting breast cancer when they grow up.

The researchers looked at breast tissue and stress levels in these girls and found that those who were more active had less dense breast tissue and lower stress levels.

This is important because dense breast tissue is linked to a higher risk of breast cancer.

The study also found that many teenage girls aren't doing enough physical activity, which is a concern because breast cancer rates are going up in young women.

The researchers say more studies are needed to understand how this affects breast cancer risk in the long term.
