Exercise and Cancer
unsure if this has been posted before but here is a link for a doco on catalyst on the ABC. Before I started teaching, I was an exercise physiologist. This study is very very interesting and promising. I know it is hard for people to exercise throughout chemo but here is a doco on the benefits. As I know about the benefits of exercise and cancer from previous study I have continued to exercise: walking 3 times a week, yoga once or twice as well as started back doing gym work. I feel it has helped with my side effects. And received an amazing compliment from a doctor the other day that has never met me before (I don't know whether to say it or not as well I don't want to jinx myself haha). here it is: Watching Catalyst Series 17 Ep 14 Exercise And Cancer in iview http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/catalyst/SC1502H014S00
ABC Catalyst: Exercise and Cancer
Last Night ABC Catalyst aired a story on exercise and cancer. The program explored the research and benefits of exercise during active cancer treatment. One Australian trial being undertaken by Professor Rob Newton at Edith Cowan University in Perth is looking at the benefits of exercise during chemotherapy treatment, including for breast cancer patients. While the trial is still ongoing, early results have been very positive. We highly recommend watching this Catalyst episode, which can been found on ABC iView - http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/catalyst/SC1502H014S00.
Exercise and Cancer - double your survival!
"By age 85, every second Person will develop it. But what if I were to tell you there's a medicine that may double your chance of survival and cause your own body to attack the cancer? It's exercise. " Do yourself a favour and watch the recent ACB Catalyst story about how exercise can increase survival rates and has zero side effects. Regular exercise can be especially beneficial to target cancer cells during cancer treatments such as chemotherapy. http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/4459555.htm Watch the video here....
