Nutritional Health
With a bend toward the most sports minded women, poor health means poor performance. It’s time to spruce up your nutritional habits to encourage better performance. If you do feel down and tired and irritable, you do have a problem. Don’t ignore it. Weight fluctuations indicates possible issues. Just try to remember to take a multivitamin every day to counteract any deficiencies in your choices of food. You need a well-rounded diet, as well.
Exercise and Cancer
Exercise again, and this time it is associated with recovery from cancer treatments. Cancer is everywhere. It can strike you in the breast, pancreas, lungs, cervix, ovaries, uterus, brain, bone and lymphoma. A lot has been done in the area of cancer treatments that we really ought to feel positive about outcomes.
Sometimes the treatments seem worse than the disease. Cancer treatments can be brutal and it can mix your schedule up better than anything. Everybody reacts differently, and there is no telling how you will feel. It all depends on your own personal well-being before the cancer occurred. Light exercise can counteract many of the unpleasant symptoms associated with chemotherapy and radiation, symptoms such as appetite change, mood, energy. Everything is harder with cancer so don’t beat yourself up if your light exercise doesn’t seem light to you.
Some tips to think of if you’re getting chemotherapy are that you not exercise on the days you are being treated and on days when you get tests . Avoid crowded germ filled places as you are vulnerable to infection and your whole immune system is compromised. They get blood to test for potassium and sodium so make sure that yours are near normal so there aren’t further complications with heart or muscles. Your blood count will probably be a platelet count more than 25,000 and a hemoglobin of more than 11 to prevent bleeding or not getting enough oxygen to your other organs.
