Many Women Who Beat Cancer Don't Change Habits

Many women who battle breast cancer will tell you it's a life-changing experience. However, a new study shows that for many 　　1　 , the changes aren't always positive or permanent1.

Beth Snoke has watched her mother and both grandmothers battle and survive breast　2　 .So when she was diagnosed, there was no doubt in her mind 　　3　 she had to do.

"I do exactly what the doctors say as far as the medicine that I'm on, as 　　4　 as the vitamins, the diet, and the fitness. And I can't stress enough　　5　 important that is," says Beth Snoke. But a surprising new study shows that 　　6　 every woman who beats breast cancer is getting that message. In fact, nearly 40% of them say even 　　7　 surviving breast cancer, they haven't made significant changes in the 　　8　 they eat or how much they exercise.

"Not all survivors are taking advantage of this teachable moment and making positive health changes in 　　9　 life," says Electra Paskett, PhD, at Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center. Paskett says diet and exercise have been proven to not only help women feel better during and after treatment, they may　　10　 play a role in preventing some cancers from coming back.　　11　 growing evidence, some women just aren't listening.

"Colon cancer survivors　　12　 exercise have actually been shown to have improved survival rates. So, yes, it is true that perhaps by making some of these healthy choices we can actually increase their health," says Paskett.

As a breast cancer survivor 　　13　 , Paskett knows first hand how much difference diet and exercise can　　14　 The challenge, she says, is to get more survivors to be more like Beth, during and after treatment.

Experts say exercising more and eating a healthier diet can also cut 　　15　 on2 stress and help women overcome depression. There are more than 2 million breast cancer survivors living in the U.S. Of those, nearly a million have yet to change their diet or exercise routines.

許多戰(zhàn)勝癌癥的婦女舊習(xí)未改

許多與乳腺癌作斗爭的婦女會告訴你：這場斗爭改變了她們的一生。然而，一項新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，對許多婦女而言，這些變化并非總是正面的或持久的。

貝斯·斯諾克曾目睹母親、祖母和外祖母戰(zhàn)勝乳腺癌的經(jīng)過。因此，當(dāng)她診斷出患有乳腺癌時，她心里十分清楚自己該做些什么。

“無論是吃的藥、維生素，還是飲食、健身，我都按醫(yī)生說的去做。這一點特別重要，怎么強調(diào)都不為過。”貝斯·斯諾克說道。然而，一項驚人的新研究顯示，并非每個戰(zhàn)勝乳腺癌的婦女都謹(jǐn)遵醫(yī)囑。事實上，近40%的婦女說雖然她們戰(zhàn)勝了乳腺癌，但并未在飲食方式或運動量上有多大改變。

俄亥俄州立大學(xué)的綜合性腫瘤中心的Electra Paskett博士說道：“并非所有的幸存者都有效利用了這個有教育意義的時刻，積極改變生活方式，促進(jìn)健康。”她也指出，飲食和運動已證明不僅有助于婦女在治療中和治療后恢復(fù)健康，而且可以防止某些癌癥卷土重來。盡管這樣的證據(jù)越來越多，但一些婦女就是不聽。

“事實表明，那些經(jīng)常鍛煉身體的結(jié)腸癌幸存者的存活率已大為提高。因此，如果我們做出一些有益健康的選擇，確實可以促進(jìn)他們的健康。”Paskett說道。

Paskett本人也是一名乳腺癌幸存者，她親身體會到飲食和運動的作用的確很大。她說，現(xiàn)在面臨的挑戰(zhàn)是如何讓更多的幸存者在治療中和治療后都像貝斯一樣謹(jǐn)遵醫(yī)囑。

專家說加強身體鍛煉、飲食更加健康也能緩解壓力，有助于婦女消除抑郁癥。美國有兩百多萬名乳腺癌幸存者。其中，近一百萬名婦女需要改善她們的飲食或運動習(xí)慣。
