I couldn't wait to pass on this information.
I read an article which sadly informs us doctors do not talk to their
patients about the importance of
exercise,
diet, and a healthy weight when they are battling cancer. Cancer is a
battle and the treatment takes a toll. To help our survival we need all the
help we can get.
"Over the last several
years, evidence has accumulated for a number of cancers that achieving and
maintaining a healthy weight, getting enough physical activity, and eating a
healthy diet can reduce the chance of recurrence and increase the
likelihood of disease-free survival after a diagnosis of cancer." Colleen
Doyle, MS, RD of the American Cancer Society
She goes on to inform us that we
know it improves the quality of life for those who are battling cancer.
Evidence is accumulating that doing these things help the cancer from reoccurring.
When the news comes you have cancer, there is a sense of helplessness that
occurs. Many of the treatments can make us sick. Having
positive things you can do that will help you survive like get your weight
to a healthy place, eating more veggies and fruit to help your immune system
and lower your weight, and moving 150 minutes a week and twice a week strength
training gives you more of an edge to keep the cancer from reoccurring.

| Walking gives hope |
Here is the thing if you have
risk for heart disease or you get the news you have cancer you are in for the
fight of your life. A healthy weight, exercise and a good diet give you a
better chance to live. Doyle's article talks about sugar and the need to use it
less. Another doctor friend told me the sugar feeds the cancer.
For all of us itwalking helps to get
moving to build our health. We are more likely to use walking as part of our
treatment when health problems come. Your oncologist may not inform of help exercise, diet, weightless can do
but there is solid science behind these things you can do. Places like Mayo
Clinic and the American Cancer Society recommend these things. Read the
articles for yourself. We all know people battling cancer walking can help.
Keep walking
