Exercise for Diabetes and Cancer?

Are you kidding me? Who feels like exercising when they have stage 3 or 4 cancer? Who feels like exercising when they have type 2 Diabetes? You should. Old school medicine said to go home, take it easy, get plenty of rest, right? WRONG!

Harvard says Exercise for Cancer and Diabetes!

Here’s what I mean: “A 2005 study by researchers at Harvard Medical School found that breast cancer patients who exercise moderately for 3-5 hours a week but their odds of dying from cancer by about half compared to sedentary patients” By HALF?  AND, if you’re a male, if you work out with weights, you can be “between 30-40-% less likely to lose your life to a deadly cancer.” Help me out here, 30-40% LESS LIKELY TO DIE BY PUMPING IRON?

Exercise for Cancer and Diabetes is a great idea!

Having had stage three cancer, 39 years ago, I understand that when you are a male and down to 123 pounds, hitting the track or the gym is not a primary goal, but it needs to be. I started playing racquet ball in 1976 and played in the city league for more than six years. It was a sweat bath 4-5 times per week. Due to a total of almost ten hours of surgery, the pumping iron was about a year later but now, 39 years later, I just joined the YMCA to start pumping iron after I read the Harvard study!

Join me to exercise to help conquer diabetes and cancer.

Diet, Detox, Attitude, and Exercise may be the four legs of your health chair. Take one away, it topples. Don’t topple. Keep all four legs working for you. Even if you just walk to the corner and back this week, and two blocks the next week, you will eventually get to where you can walk a couple of miles. I walk my Ginger, our Golden Doodle, two miles a day–and the first mile is uphill. If I do this, my BP remains normal and my digestion is far better…Plus, I don’t want cancer to come back or to develop diabetes.

Join me.

Exercise is crucial if you have diabetes or cancer according to Harvard.
