Some light exercises such as gentle walking, stretching, or yoga can help improve mood, maintain healthy weight, and reduce fatigue. Check with your doctor first before starting any new exercises.

Maintain good nutrition
Maintain good nutrition

Nutrient needs vary from person-to-person. Work with a registered dietitian (or nutritionist) and your cancer care team to help identify your nutrition goals and manage your diet during and after cancer treatment. Good nutrition is important for the body to heal and stay healthy. A healthy diet includes eating and drinking enough foods and liquids with nutrients that the body needs such as vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and water.

Meditate
Meditate

To ease stress, meditation can be a relaxation technique to help you focus and calm your mind. Find a quiet place to sit. Follow your breath in and out and notice the sensations in your body. Your mind may wander, and that is OK, but acknowledge it. When you are ready to end the meditation, gently bring yourself back into the environment.

Consult your doctor, nurse, or dietitian before beginning any exercise program or diet. This general information is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition.
