A new research finds many cancer
survivors are obese and not physically active, which could make it
harder to keep their cancer under control. Fewer than 22% of the
cancer survivors were physically active, over 18% were obese (body
mass index [BMI] = 30 kg/m2), and another 34% were overweight (BMI
25�30 kg/m2). This week's article focuses on Nutrition and Exercise
Guidelines for Cancer Survivors.
Remember, you are what you eat!

Use positive or affirming language
when stating your fitness or nutrition goals. For example, instead of making a
list of foods you shouldn't eat if you want to improve your diet; instead, make
a list of fruits, vegetables, grains and other healthful foods that will enhance
your nutrition. |

Along the Way
You can get things done without enjoying yourself. You can also enjoy yourself
without getting anything done. However, the best approach is to get things done
while also enjoying yourself. That's the way to reach long term success,
building one accomplishment on top of another.
If you aim to simply enjoy yourself without getting anything done, then the
result is -- you don't get anything done. You may be very positive and cheerful,
at least for the moment, but after a while it will seem quite empty. On the
other hand, if you're driven to achieve, without any consideration for the
quality of your life along the way, that can be empty, too. Sure, you'll get
what you want. But you're also likely to get burned out and resentful.
Make the effort, move toward your goals, and delight in the moments along the
way. When you enjoy the journey there's never any reason to stop.

Nutrition and Exercise
Guidelines for Cancer Survivors
New research finds many cancer survivors are obese and not physically active,
which could make it harder to keep their cancer under control.
Researchers in Canada analyzed data from more than 114,000 adults. They found
fewer than 22 percent of Canadian cancer survivors were physically active -- the
lowest rates were in men and women who had survived colorectal cancer and women
who survived melanoma and breast cancer. Results also show nearly one in five
cancer survivors was obese, and one in three was overweight.
