An article written by a guest blogger David Haas.
When diagnosed with cancer, jumping right into an exercise program is not typically the first thought which comes to mind. However, fighting the disease and doing what it takes to slip into recovery mode is the main focus after digesting the news of actually having a life threatening disease such as cancer.
Clinical research indicates that physical movement is beneficial for cancer patients whether activity is sought out at time of diagnosis, during treatment, or at time of recovery. When it comes to surviving cancer, eating the right foods and getting enough exercise will keep an individual stronger in mind and body. Research has shown that exercise plays a role in preventing cancer from returning. Studies have also indicated that having excess weight lessened the chance of a longer survival time. There is also a higher risk of the cancer returning.
The fact is that exercise makes any individual thinner, stronger, and physically more fit whether a cancer patient or not. Exercise also builds a better mood, enhances self-confidence, fights fatigue, and prevents the chance of diabetes or cardiovascular disease, and more. Whether for colon cancer, breast cancer, or mesothelioma, exercise could have a substantial affect on the outcome of a cancer diagnosis.
The cancer patient may wonder when it is the best time to begin exercising. A healthcare professional will most likely suggest “the sooner, the better”. Getting right into an exercise agenda will prevent depression, stress, and physical ill symptoms from erupting, as they usually will when first diagnosed with cancer. More often than not, a cancer patient will basically lead a sedentary lifestyle while recuperating from a lengthy treatment. If no exercise is performed during this process, however, it will take the body a taxing effort to find the strength for any physical activity. If exercise is included in a daily routine from the beginning, the body will continue to strengthen without much effort at all.
Whether an exercise program includes stretching movements, walking or swimming, or weight lifting resistant type training, any form of physical activity will promote strength to fight the disease and the will to recover from the cancer.
