Staying in shape will keep you healthy, which will in turn make it easier to deal with your cancer treatments. A healthy body is more likely to fight off cancer risks than a body that is already over-burdened with excess weight.

If you are already at a healthy weight, maintain it with regular physical activity and a balanced diet.
