Living Well After Cancer: A New Guide for Survivors

Cancer survivors often deal with health issues caused by the disease and its treatment. They also have a higher chance of developing other long-term health problems. This can lead to multiple health conditions at once, known as multimorbidity. Lifestyle changes can help a lot. Up to 80% of chronic diseases can be prevented or managed better with healthy habits. These habits include eating more plants, moving regularly, and keeping a healthy weight. These changes can also help cancer survivors live longer and feel better.A new toolkit from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) is here to help. It's called the Lifestyle Medicine Cancer Risk Reduction and Survivorship Toolkit (LMCT). This toolkit is easy to use and full of helpful information. It's designed to help healthcare workers and cancer survivors make positive lifestyle changes. The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) supports this toolkit. They think it's a great resource for cancer care. The toolkit can help survivors take control of their health and live well after cancer. The LMCT is a practical guide. It offers evidence-based advice on lifestyle changes. It's a useful tool for anyone involved in cancer care. It can help survivors make healthy choices and improve their quality of life.
