雙磷酸鹽與停經後骨質疏鬆症婦女之乳癌預防 (The Association Between Bisphosphonates & Brest Cancer Prevention of Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
「人在的時候，常以為來日方長、什麼都有機會，但其實人生是減法，見一面，少一面。」
我們都要好好珍惜身邊的人...

❄ 學理上，bisphosphonate 可以增強骨密度，減低骨折與骨病變事件，或許也有預防乳癌的神效。
❄ 在許多觀察性研究 (observational study) 中發現，以 bisphosphonate 治療停經後之骨質疏鬆症婦女，可以減低乳癌發生率。
❄ 在最新的隨機對照試驗 (randomized controlled trial, RCT) － FIT & HORIZON-PFT 顯示：alendronate (Fosamax) 與 zoledronic acid (Aclasta) 並無助於降低停經後之骨質疏鬆症婦女的乳癌風險。
❄ 過往曾經有不少次 RCT 與 observational study 研究結果互斥的狀況。而這次在 bisphosphonate 對於乳癌是否有預防療效的議題中，再一次呈現了這樣的衝突，也是個瞭解 observational study 與 RCT 差異的好機會。

Episode 5: CYCLING IN SINGAPORE TOUR WITH GOPRO HERO 9 Health benefits of regular cycling
Health benefits of regular cycling
Cycling is mainly an aerobic activity, which means that your heart, blood vessels and lungs all get a workout. You will breathe deeper, perspire and experience increased body temperature, which will improve your overall fitness level.
The health benefits of regular cycling include:
increased cardiovascular fitness
increased muscle strength and flexibility
improved joint mobility
decreased stress levels
improved posture and coordination
strengthened bones
decreased body fat levels
prevention or management of disease
reduced anxiety and depression.

Cycling and specific health issues
Cycling can improve both physical and mental health, and can reduce the chances of experiencing many health problems.
Obesity and weight control
Cycling is a good way to control or reduce weight, as it raises your metabolic rate, builds muscle and burns body fat. If you’re trying to lose weight, cycling must be combined with a healthy eating plan. Cycling is a comfortable form of exercise and you can change the time and intensity – it can be built up slowly and varied to suit you.
Research suggests you should be burning at least 8,400 kilojoules (about 2,000 calories) a week through exercise. Steady cycling burns about 1,200 kilojoules (about 300 calories) per hour.
If you cycle twice a day, the kilojoules burnt soon add up. British research shows that a half-hour bike ride every day will burn nearly five kilograms of fat over a year.
Cardiovascular disease and cycling
Cardiovascular diseases include stroke, high blood pressure and heart attack. Regular cycling stimulates and improves your heart, lungs and circulation, reducing your risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Cycling strengthens your heart muscles, lowers resting pulse and reduces blood fat levels. Research also shows that people who cycle to work have two to three times less exposure to pollution than car commuters, so their lung function is improved. A Danish study conducted over 14 years with 30,000 people aged 20 to 93 years found that regular cycling protected people from heart disease.
Cancer and cycling
Many researchers have studied the relationship between exercise and cancer, especially colon and breast cancer. Research has shown that if you cycle, the chance of bowel cancer is reduced. Some evidence suggests that regular cycling reduces the risk of breast cancer.
Diabetes and cycling
The rate of type 2 diabetes is increasing and is a serious public health concern. Lack of physical activity is thought to be a major reason why people develop this condition. Large-scale research in Finland found that people who cycled for more than 30 minutes per day had a 40 per cent lower risk of developing diabetes.
Bone injuries, arthritis and cycling
Cycling improves strength, balance and coordination. It may also help to prevent falls and fractures. Riding a bike is an ideal form of exercise if you have osteoarthritis, because it is a low-impact exercise that places little stress on joints.
Cycling does not specifically help osteoporosis (bone-thinning disease) because it is not a weight-bearing exercise.
Mental illness and cycling
Mental health conditions such as depression, stress and anxiety can be reduced by regular bike riding. This is due to the effects of the exercise itself and because of the enjoyment that riding a bike can bring.
