Guest Post: Melanie Bowen: Fighting Cancer By Focusing on Fitness

Hi blog friends!!!,  I’m excited to share with you a guest post from Melanie Bowen. She is an  Awareness Advocate for Natural Health, she is often highlighting great benefits of alternative nutritional, emotional, and physical treatments on those diagnosed with cancer or other serious illness. Melanie also assists in social media outreach in her efforts to spread awareness.

Thank you Melanie for keeping it reaching out in promoting fitness and cancer awareness.


In the past, many people believed that there was nothing they can do to reduce their odds of developing cancer. In addition, those who had been diagnosed with cancer would often fall prey to the belief that there was nothing they could do to improve their odds of success. In recent years, however, research has shown that patients play a more active role in their cancer treatments than
previously thought. When it comes to taking an active role in fighting your cancer, focusing on your fitness is essential.

Fitness Reduces Cancer Rates
Over the years, studies have consistently shown that there is a strong correlation between high levels of physical fitness and low levels of cancer development. Simply being in top physical condition is not enough to prevent cancer, and there is no way of completely eliminating your odds of developing it in the future. When it comes to factors that people can control, however, fitness is the best way of fighting the development of cancer apart from avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol use.

Fitness Helps Fight Cancer
Fitness has also been shown to help cancer patients going through treatment. High levels of fitness have been correlated with better chemotherapy outcomes, and those who enter treatment with high levels of fitness will be better able to deal with the negative side effects of chemotherapy. In addition, those who are in shape will find it easier to maintain a positive mindset, and some studies have shown a link between fitness levels and the ability to maintain a healthy weight during treatment.

Fitness Helps With Cancer Recovery
In recent years, countless studies have been conducted to examine how high levels of fitness help patients recover from cancer treatments. Whether the patient has undergone treatment for mesothelioma, breast cancer, colon cancer or any other form of cancer, staying in shape can be tremendously beneficial. In addition, high levels of physical fitness have also been shown to reduce the odds of cancer returning in the future. Those who wish to avoid future bouts with cancer should view maintaining high levels of fitness as a crucial component in their lives.
