\"Exercising<\/a>
Exercising to Reduce Stress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whether you or a loved one has just been diagnosed with cancer or have been living with it for years, the importance of practicing healthy lifestyle choices is important now more than ever.<\/p>\n

The Issels Treatment\u00ae<\/a> has a proven track record of more than 50 years of long-term tumor remissions of standard therapy-resistant cancers. Whatever medical treatment you may be undergoing, learning ways to positively deal with stress related to the disease can vastly improve your quality of life.<\/p>\n

Exercise<\/p>\n

Mild to moderate exercise (we\u2019re not talking marathons) reduces blood pressure and keeps your heart healthy. The heart is a muscle after all. Walking or swimming for 20 to 30 minutes at least four times a week provides weight-bearing resistance and increases your heart rate. One easy way to stick with your exercise routine? Find a buddy to walk or jog with you.<\/p>\n

Eat a Healthy Diet<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true. Eating the suggested six servings of fruits and vegetables a day can do wonders for your body. So you don\u2019t feel completely cut off from your favorite foods, allow yourself to have a treat every once in a while. A glass of wine or a cup or frozen yogurt are good choices.<\/p>\n

The Mind-Body Connection<\/p>\n

Many holistic cancer treatments<\/a> champion the mind-body connection. Doing activities that stimulate both have a two-for-one effect. Yoga or stretching exercises help regulate breathing while allowing you to focus on positive thoughts. Some experts recommend becoming involved in artistic expression \u2013 dancing, painting, writing, singing and the list goes on.<\/p>\n

The bottom line, small changes can be the difference between living with joy or staying in fear of cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
