Be Healthy, Be Cancer Free For Life - Exercise For Health

By Rita Goldman

According to the American Cancer Society, you need to spend at least 30 minutes in a day exercising and continue this regimen for at least five days a week, maybe even more if you can do it, in order to prevent cancer development. No matter how busy you are in life, perhaps too dedicated in your work and value your family time the most, you still have to take care of yourself. The exercise only takes 30 minutes of your time each day to ensure a cancer free life. Remember, you wont be able to enjoy life if you are already struck with cancer.

Exercise does not only prevent you from acquiring cancer but it also prevents several kinds of life threatening diseases such as heart ailment, diabetes, hypertension, and a whole lot more. However, you should pair up exercise with a healthy diet as well in order to double up your protection against the various diseases mentioned. Without eating a healthy diet, your exercise regimen wont be effective.

There are a lot of exercises you can choose from, you can even move on from one exercise to another when you get bored with the first one. You shouldnt think about exercise as a part of your everyday tasks instead, think about it as part of the leisure time you enjoy.

If you enjoy dancing back in the day, you should make it your work out regimen. You can dance your heart away to the groovy music you hear on the radio. You can also take ballroom dancing classes if this is what your heart desires. Exercise doesnt only mean hitting the gym for work out. Believe it or not, most of the enjoyable exercises can be done at home or in the neighborhood.

Another form of exercise which is very popular with young people nowadays is rollerblading. You can do this on the sidewalk of your neighborhood every afternoon or even on the concrete near the beach if you wanted an awesome view. If you have a pool or live near a facility with a pool, you can make swimming your exercise regimen. It is a great form of exercise because it allows you to move every part of your body and it is not very tiresome.

You can also stroll around in the park for a walk or even cycle around it a few times. These two kinds of exercise relieve stress and you can even do this with a friend or with your loved ones. If you have time during the weekends, why not try to play a game of dodge ball in your backyard or perhaps join in team sports activities such as basketball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, and other team sports available in your neighborhood. If there are no local team sport activities in your area, try organizing one. Surely enough, a lot of dads will join the basketball game if there is one available.

If you are one the outdoor enthusiasts, you can go on a hiking spree with your family on weekends. You can double this activity with camping so that you can go hiking down the hillside the next day as well.

As you can see, all of the aforementioned exercises are fun activities you can either do alone or with someone. You can also do weight lifting in the gym every now and then, if you choose to. The most important thing you should remember is to incorporate a 30-minute a day exercise in your life. By sticking to this regimen, you are ensuring a cancer free life ahead of you.
