An interesting article from Futurity.com popped up in my RSS feed today. Seems that researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have determined that patients and survivors of breast, prostate, hematologic, colon and gynecological cancers should strive to get the same 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise that is recommended for the general public
For patients suffering from cancer-related weight loss, physical activity helps to maintain lean body mass, which can contribute to increased strength and well being.
Researchers do advise that certain accommodations be made regarding the patient’s level of fitness as well as his or her treatment process.
If it’s helpful for cancer patients and survivors, it’s gotta be good for Lyme too. Think about it and look for ways to be active.
