Ways to help reduce the harmful effects of cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy

Do exercise

For cancer patients during and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy, applying well-designed exercise routines will help reduce fatigue. This also reduces the risk of depression, prevents muscle loss, improves sleep, increases resistance, and reduces the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Breathing exercises: help air circulate, reduce stress and anxiety.

Balance exercises: help improve mobility, maintain balance, prevent injuries and falls.

Aerobic/Cardio: exercises help increase heart rate, stabilize blood pressure, and help patients feel less tired during and after treatment.

Walking exercise: maintain 3 to 4 times per week, at a moderate pace.

Physical exercise: helps regain muscle after chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and also helps prevent osteoporosis, a weakening of bones caused by side effects of treatment.

According to the recommendations of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after chemotherapy and radiation therapy, you should spend 2 days exercising each week with exercises to improve your overall health.

Balanced nutrition

Cancer patients should especially supplement foods with high anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Because the process of radiotherapy using radiation can cause many different inflammatory reactions such as edema, esophagitis, gastritis, dermatitis.

Appropriate exercises help patients recover their health soon after chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

According to the health website of Harvard University, there are many natural foods containing antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that patients can supplement, including: tomatoes, olive oil, green leafy vegetables, almonds, walnuts, fruits, fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines.

Detoxification

When undergoing radiotherapy, the body must receive a large amount of radiation and chemicals. Combining treatment and detoxification is a way to help the body quickly purify, eliminate toxic residues, and restore health.

Traditional medicine recognizes many herbs that have the effect of detoxifying the body, such as black ginseng, pennywort, turmeric starch, and cogon grass.

Foods that help increase anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant abilities are good for people undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Rest, relax, think positive

The results of some studies show that depression and stress also contribute to the ability to develop and spread tumors. Accordingly, to recover quickly, patients should have a scientific rest regimen. Each person should limit staying up late, get enough sleep, avoid stress, keep the spirit comfortable and optimistic. That is also a way to strengthen the immune system, increase the body's resistance.

Strengthen the immune system

Research results published in the journal Breast Cancer Research (University of Leeds and Hospital NHS Trust in the UK) show that chemotherapy weakens the immune system for at least 9 months. This makes patients unable to fight off common inflammatory and infectious diseases such as pneumonia and tetanus, even if they have been vaccinated before.

Through many studies, scientists of the Japanese NPO Fucoidan Research Institute have discovered that the active ingredient fucoidan found in Mozuku brown algae and Mekabu brown algae is a nutrient that contributes to improving the health of patients, supporting the strengthening of the body's immune system, suitable for cases before, during and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Fucoidan compound is a precious active ingredient found in Japanese Mozuku and Mekabu seaweed.
