Allison Van Dusen says: What does it take to get people to adopt healthy lifestyles? According to this HealthDay article, surviving cancer is not the wake up call you might think. While research has shown that eating well, exercising and generally watching your weight can prevent the recurrence of cancer, a new study to be published in the journal, Cancer, found that less than a quarter of cancer survivors are regularly physically active. I don't know about you but I'm consistently amazed at how much people dislike exercise/physical activity... These people have faced life-threatening illnesses and most of them still don't want to get up off of the couch. Gosh, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm 68 years old and a 18 year survivor I'm happy to say. I'm 20 lbs. too heavy, have COPD and really don't get too much exercise. Of course not being able to breathe has something to do with that, but, overall I'm pretty satisfied with myself. Go figure... |
