Yoga May Help Fight Cancer
Cancer is linked to unhealthy lifestyles that include diets high in saturated fats and simple sugars, lack of exercise, exposure to environmental poisons (cigarette smoke and industrial poisons) and depressed immunity. Cancer wreaks havoc on your physical and emotional well-being because of fatigue and nausea from medications and pain from surgery. Yoga may be just the ticket to help people slow down and reduce stress so that medical treatments have a chance to work.
The Mountain States Tumor Institute at St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho has been using Yoga to help patient cope with the stress of the disease. Meditation is used during yoga that allows patients to focus their minds on how their bodies feel. Stress weakens the immune system, which makes it tougher to treat the cancer. Yoga does not directly treat the disease, but it does have positive effect that can complement medication.
Yoga is an excellent exercise for building strength and flexibility and reducing stress– all vital to helping cancer patients recover.
