Exercise and Breast Cancer

Healthy eating and exercise should be promoted among breast cancer survivors for many reasons. Such behaviors can lead to weight loss or weight gain prevention, which may translate into reduced risk for cancer recurrence and co-morbid conditions, along with improved quality of life.

These benefits may  be even greater for African American survivors, given their higher risk for hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. In order to keep healthy people will have to move something or shake something. Let’s move it folks. Stand up and move or reach for something.
