Should you really EXERCISE when you have cancer ❓

The short answer is yes, you should! ✅

👉🏽Physical activity has a wide range of benefits for many different outcomes in almost all cancer cases.
🔺These include, but are not limited to, physiological outcomes like cardiopulmonary fitness, physical function and body composition, and patient-reported outcomes including fatigue, sleep, and sense of empowerment (Hojman, Gehl, Christensen, & Pedersen, 2018).

🔺At present, we do not fully comprehend all the complex mechanisms involved in the effect of exercise on cancer, but the effects seem to have a positive impact independent of age and gender (Hojman et al., 2018).

🔺When physically active, our bodies produce a lot of different substances that target the cancer cells, while the increased temperature and acute stress environment caused by physical activity make an unfavorable environment for the tumor (Hojman et al., 2018; Idorn & Hojman, 2016). This can further impact the rate of tumor growth and the risk of spreading, and the inhibitor effect of physical activity is evident across most investigated cancer types (Hojman et al., 2018).

🔺Physical activity can also strengthen the immune system, making it more efficient in inhibiting tumor growth and aiding treatment side effects and toxicity.

🔺Regular exercise increases blood flow and formation of blood vessels throughout the body. When blood circulation and oxygen delivery to cells are improved, it can impact how well chemotherapy reaches the tumor and promote the effect of radiotherapy, while increasing overall tolerance of the medications (Esteves, Monteiro, & Duarte, 2021; Hojman et al., 2018).

🔺Being physically active before surgery can increase the patients’ physical capacity, making the operation safer, decreasing the length of hospitalization and the risk of death (Hojman et al., 2018).

🔺Loss of muscle mass can occur as a result of the cancer itself, or because of the treatment. Gaining or retaining muscle mass before, during and after cancer treatment can have important implications for physical function, dependence on others, and various late effects.

We love you lots but it’s time to stop for the Summer. It’s been an extremely busy term, work has been crazy busy with clinics and classes, on top of that I’ve had a very poorly Lottie and loads of hospital appointments with Grandma! Thanks to the amazing Lottie is on the mend, which is a huge relief, and grandma is doing great too!
So we close today until Mon 2nd Sept. Enjoy your summer with friends and family too and see you super soon 🥰 ❤️
