Sedentary cancer survivors, with low levels of physical activity, see far worse survival

“I feel healthier today then I felt before I was diagnosed. I no longer have that false feeling of helplessness.“

“Thank you a hundred, maybe a thousand times more for the Anticancer Lifestyle Program. It has made a huge difference for me and my family.“

“Just completed the Anticancer Lifestyle program. Strongly encourage survivors, those looking to prevent cancer, those with risk factors, and really all of us to take this course. Most of us are unaware of how many risks exist, particularly from environmental factors. My favorite was the environment section. People get some nutrition, stress management, and exercise guidance but virtually no information about toxins and their impact.”

In a study published in JAMA Oncology, Cancer survivors with prolonged daily sitting and little to no physical activity had a far higher chance of death, whether from their cancer or other causes, a cohort study found.

In the prospective study of more than 1,500 survivors followed for up to 9 years, those who were completely inactive or had “insufficient” leisure-time physical activity and who also reported sitting for more than 8 hours per day had a fivefold increased risk of overall or cancer-specific mortality compared with those who were active.
