Ok, Ladies, the evidence is out! Diet & Exercise do help!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

This was in my paper yesterday and I thought I'd share it.

In case you don't have time to read it, here's the part that I really liked:

"Being overweight or obese has long been tied to an increase risk of several types of cancer -- colon, esophagus, kidney, pancreas and breast (in post-menopausal women) -- but there hadn't been much evidence on the effects of diet and exercise for people who had already had cancer.  The last 5 years saw more than 100 studies involving cancer survivors, many of them showing that exercise and/or a healthy diet was associated with lower cancer recurrence rates and longer survival."

I'm so glad that Knox keeps me moving -- our daily walks may really be the best medicine for me!

We're going to hit the streets now!  He's always ready, lol!

That was interesting. Thanks. I always say that medical advice is mostly the same D and E, diet and exercise. I will go out with the dogs and also garden today.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Crap, I was hoping  D and E stood for donuts and elclairs.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Right : )

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

F, I guess you're right! It usually seems to come back to Diet and Exercise, which seems like such simple advice but hard to follow for a lot of us! I noticed that no recommendations or guidelines were given :(.

I hate to exercise, but have reached the age when I must.  I am glad to know that I can pat myself on the back doubly.

BaHumbug.  I exercise a lot for my age.  I don't have cancer but my joints ache like crazy.  Time to replace them all.   So, if you don't get cancer you will get joint replacements from all the exercise.  Everything is a trade off.

I have a bad attitude about all that healthy exercise as of late!!!  OUCH!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

That's why I loved weight lifting. You barely move at all, and if you do it right, no stress on the joints.

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

I just walk a lot.  I walk about 10 miles a day at work. My hip is killing me. I have used soft weights on my wrists but nothing else to strengthen my legs.

My hips are killing me. I've even used pain meds for sleep recently.  I can't seem to get a full night in without them  :(

But... YOu just jogged ( no jogging ) my mind.  I'll look up some strengthening for this problem. Funny, a nurse told me to do this a month ago.  Now, you reaffirmed it for me. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

I have a hard time walking at time too. Bah humbug.

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Jazzy Scouter  :)  ??  I could put Doodle Stickers on it and roll down the road with Spud. When he gets old, I'll attach a sidecar.  Sounds like a plan. You and I could race.

Or, those Golf Carts in Florida, you posted awhile back might be more stylish. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

Oh, I forgot about them. Ideal.

Ladies -- you know who you are -- I am visiting my 82- and 83-year old parents and am just now checking this discussion on my iPhone.  You sound as bad as them...just saying...
