Exercise
Benefits of exercise for the cancer survivor:
- Reduces the risk of lymphedema
- Improves range of motion
- Improves cardiovascular endurance
- Increases strength and lean body mass
- Reduces the risk of osteoporosis
- Improves self-image
- Reduces many of the side effects of hormone therapy and chemotherapy
Studies have shown that choosing a healthy lifestyle exceeds many conventional chemotherapy and hormonal therapy drugs, yet few patients know of the data or have the ability to make such lifestyle changes.
