In the journey of cancer survivorship, maintaining overall health becomes a primary focus. Today’s blog post explores a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of post-cancer care: the impact of exercise on gut health. Understanding the gut-exercise connection is not just beneficial; it’s transformative.
Research reveals that physical activity directly influences the health and diversity of these gut microbes.
The human gut hosts a diverse microbial community, playing a pivotal role in our health. For cancer survivors, this is especially significant as the gut microbiome can be affected by cancer treatments.
Incorporating physical activity post-treatment offers numerous benefits. Exercise helps in reducing inflammation and enhances the diversity of gut bacteria. This leads to improved digestion, better immune function, and overall enhanced health.
Even moderate exercise can help. Activities like walking, yoga, or tailored exercise programs can significantly contribute to improving gut health.
