Julia, who is mum to Zephyr, 11, and twins Xanthe and Zena, seven, revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2021 and underwent a mastectomy a month later. She opened up about her diagnosis and how it affected her in her candid documentary Julia Bradbury: Breast Cancer and Me.
In her Instagram post, Julia shared a link to a study which promoted exercise as a way to improve the survival rates from cancer. She said: "Exercise before and after a cancer diagnosis improves survival rates. In this study, women before and after being diagnosed with breast cancer had a 55% lower risk of recurrence compared to women who didn't meet the minimum exercise guidelines."
Last month, the former Countryfile host revealed that she had given up alcohol in a new approach to life following the cancer diagnosis. The mum-of-three opened up to woman&home about her journey and the impact alcohol had previously had on her.
"Historically, I haven’t been kind to my body or my gut," She said.
"I had a reputation for drinking everybody else under the table. But right now, I don’t feel comfortable drinking alcohol because if I drink one unit of alcohol a day, my risk of recurrence is between 5% and 6% across my lifetime. With four units a day, it goes up to 28%."
She also explained that she was given the option to have more surgery on her breast, but decided against it as "it would purely be for aesthetics".
