Lifestyle and Diet Changes After Cancer.

If you have a look at the recent research on this website, specifically the Edith Cowan University exercise program results I think it will give you a different perspective on exercise. I'm very excited about it as it's up the road from me! Must add that I have been shocking with exercise all my life but this is amazing stuff.  Sensible diet and exercise is basically the best you can do I think ... but open to other suggestions!

I have definitely been reading that exercise helps and some clinical studies have linked that exercising 3 times a week to lower rate of recurrence. I did not understand why at first. I thought perhaps exercising helps us release stress physically and mentally so we are happier overall? But then recently I read about cancer being toxicity and deficiency (from the Gerson Therapy)! So suddenly I had a new perspective towards exercise. I now believe that exercise helps us not just have a stronger body in general, but sweating probably helps us in detoxing! We eat (esp if we don't eat clean) and are exposed to so much toxins daily and perspiration is actually a great way to detox! We just bought a Nordic Track Elliptical so the whole family can do our workouts at home. I struggle to drag myself to the gym! I think high impact exercises or any exercises that help us to perspire will be excellent. I am no doctor but it sounds like common sense to me!
