“Exercise is Medicine” truly hits the nail on the head in mostly all settings but especially in regards to the cancer population.
There are a number of causes for substantial muscle loss while living with and beyond cancer.
Β acceleration of the aging process
the disease process itself
Β cancer treatment side effects
alterations in the endocrine system
There is also an associated inverse relationship that exercise has on those causes!
deceleration/reverses the aging process
reduces cancer treatment side effects
may improve disease-related outcomes
promotes healthy endocrine functioning
