Why exercise is so important if you’re a cancer survivor

Summary

Nutrition label

86% Informative

A new study found that moderate intensity exercise even brisk walking may be linked to a 37 percent reduction in risk of death over time for colon cancer survivors.

Experts believe the results may apply to those with other types of cancer as well.

For cancer survivors, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends starting slowly and building up to at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity a week .

The new study was groundbreaking because there was already evidence that physical activity reduces one’s risk of developing certain cancers for colon cancer.

“We recommend that patients undergoing treatment do activity as they are able, but definitely acknowledging the challenges, especially around the time of treatments,” Deborah Manst says.
