Regular exercise is must for everyone for leading a happy life; the exercise can be moderate in those who cannot go for higher levels as professional body builders or martial arts experts. An average of 2.5 hours exercise is recommended by most of the physicians alongside with proper diet and stress free lifestyle.
The moderate exercises and physical activities are potential in sustaining the treatments, which consumes energy of the patients and which weakens the bodies in turn, like radiation, chemotherapy for cancer patients. The researchers from the Kansas State University have found that the fast-walking or a light jogging everyday can improve the cancer treatments.
The energy gained from the physical activities would help the patients to bare the treatment. Associate Professor of Exercise Physiology Brad Behnke found a link between moderate exercise and better recoveries in cancer patients.
They have observed that the moderate exercises enhanced the blood flow to the tumors and improved the impact of the radiation treatments. They also found that the exercise can also counter act the negative side effects like fatigue, low blood count and muscle atrophy. Mr. Behnke said that too much exercise can be counter-productive.
The study report, which appeared in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, emphasized the need of the exercises even for a healthy citizen to live healthy and in case to meet such therapies.
