you actually probably need to do more exercise um to sort of reap the cancer preventative benef benefits then you do cardiovascular benefits you know even you know some of the metabolic benefits

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so again we have a lot of research suggesting that it's still experimental but I still think it is one of the few things that patients can do themselves right everything else is done to them done for them in terms of the chemotherapy the surgery and so on so patients are looking for what sorts of things can I do myself and exercise probably has the strong evidence of additional P potential benefit Beyond sort of their current treatments
most of what we're studying and looking at is more the moderate intensity or or the higher intensity exercise but for reasonable amounts of exercise not sort of these marathon runners or these triathletes where you might overwhelm the patient
many of them start looking for what can I do to help myself yes I've got to show up and get all these treatments but what can I I do to potentially benefit myself and when they start looking into the literature exercise is one of these things that they're quickly seeing is potentially very beneficial for them not just for the disease itself but yeah many of these sort of side effects
having said that the benefits of exercise far outweigh the harms of exercise but so we don't have to sort of put theкрыть under the rug you know to make the case for exercise we want to track those
so we have to think about exercise as a cancer treatment so that means we have to think about combining exercise with other treatments and sequencing exercise you know is exercise more beneficial before this treatment during this treatment after this treatment and What treatments What treatments does exercise add benefit to and What treatments does exercise not add benefit to or What treatments might it interfere with
but the best evidence definitely is exercise compared to nothing at all that's that really drives the benefits and once you start manipulating the exercise prescription we can see some additional benefits
