Regular exercise may help reduce the risk of death for cancer patients. In a study of over 40,000 colorectal cancer patients, active individuals were 31% less likely to die from the disease than their inactive counterparts. Additionally, the lives of exercisers were five or more years longer. Researchers point out, however, that these patients engaged in exercise regularly prior to their diagnosis. Similar results have been noted in relation to other types of cancer, including breast and prostate. Other indicators of poor survival risk include a high body-fat index, being overweight and excess waist circumference. For many people, however, it takes extra motivation to begin an exercise routine, especially if they lack the requisite energy. Fortunately, several supplements—including B-Vitamins, Creatine, Chromium, and others—can help enhance energy production and give you the boost you need to get moving.
