Cancer exam results can be troublesome

What else can you do to prevent and detect cancer?

Chronic Pain and Exercise: How to modify your work-outs so you stay active, healthy and pain-free

When you suffer with chronic pain, exercise can be difficult. Exercise can leave you sore. If you have fibromyalgia, an autoimmune disorder, or myofascial pain syndrome, you already feel sore so often that you don't dare "risk" feeling sore after exercise.

However, we all know the importance of getting regular exercise. Some of the many benefits include:
* Weight Control
* Improved energy
* Better sleep
* Mood regulation
* Increased metabolism
* Boosts immune function
* Lowers risk for cancer
* Reduces heart disease
* Eases joint pain
* Relieves symptoms of arthritis
* Prevents illness

The list could go on. Obviously, exercise is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle. With modifications, chronic pain sufferers can exercise, too.

This article describes this process:

Committed to exercise, and using modifications, pain sufferers can also reap the benefits. (And Exercise is Medicine, so maybe one day they will not need those modifications because they may become pain-free!)

Exercise, Diet, Yoga reverse Cancer in Dr. Dean Ornish study

It is no secret that regular exercise, nutritious eating, meditation and yoga are great for your health. But this study shows that they are powerful enough to reverse the course of cancer!

As Dr. Dean Ornish says, the body is more dynamic than we thought. Watch this video for more (then read on, below):



And what I find amazing about the results of the study was that the program suggested a mere 30 minutes of exercise daily! 30 minutes!

How many Americans who are facing death by cancer can't find 30 minutes for exercise every day?

Dr. Ornish describes how you can genetically alter your body to reverse cancer. He studied men with prostate cancer. He says these same tactics can be helpful in reversing other forms of cancer, too, such as breast cancer.

In the past, we have seen research studies that demonstrate how an exercising group were less likely to get cancer than non-exercising groups. And how research participants who ate healthy low-fat, vegetarian diets were less likely to get cancer than their study counterparts who ate less healthy foods.
But Dr. Dean Ornish's study is very different...
He studies men who already had been diagnosed with cancer. This study takes exercise from prevention to treatment status. This is significant, and of vital importance to anyone recently diagnosed with cancer!

This study is amazing, and it shows how, truly, Exercise is Medicine!
