To understand the role between exercising and cancer treatment, we spoke to experts. Here is what they want every fighter out there to know. "Keeping active is vital for overall health, even more so for those receiving cancer treatment. Though it might seem difficult to stay active during such a tough time, studies show that exercise can have many advantages for cancer patients. Activities like exercise help uplift mood, cut down stress, strengthen the body, and enhance the immune system, thus aiding in managing treatment side effects better," said Dr Dhiman Roy Choudhury . While exercise is beneficial for cancer patients, taking specific precautions ensures safety and effectiveness. According to Dr Roy Choudhury, one should start their fitness journey during cancer treatment on a slow grade and then slowly increase the intensity and duration to prevent overexertion. "Pay attention to your body's signals and adjust accordingly to prevent injuries and burnout. Staying hydrated, wearing suitable clothing and footwear, and avoiding high-impact activities that risk falls or injuries are critical."
