Each and every one of us is unique, with differing levels of challenges due to health as well as lifestyles and goals. And there is no blanket approach that will work for everyone when it comes to achieving good nutrition.
What we can do, is take it one step at a time, and build up towards better health.
Research has shown that exercise has many benefits, during and after your cancer treatment. It can speed up your recovery, assist with side effects, and improve your quality life. And if you're caring for someone with cancer, it's a great way for you to improve your physical and mental wellbeing as well!
