Nutrition, physical exercise, obesity, weight management, Cancer SurvivorsAbstract
Nutrition, diets, and exercise are critical pillars in fortifying the well-being of cancer survivors. A balanced and nutrientrich diet serves as a linchpin in the recovery process for cancer, providing essential vitamins and minerals crucial for rejuvenating weakened immune systems and promoting overall health. The comprehensive influence of nutritional variables, including weight, food, physical activity, and alcohol use, goes beyond cancer development and affects outlook; the standard of living, concurrent health conditions, reappearances, and the incidence of recurrent malignancies are important factors to consider. However, despite their undeniable importance, a comprehensive understanding of their correlating effects on cancer survivors is hindered by the relatively recent and limited literature. This review aims to address existing gaps in current research, emphasizing recent studies and reviews related to nutrition, diets, alcoholic beverages, obesity, and exercise in cancer patients. This review focuses on specific areas necessitating further investigation by synthesizing and scrutinizing the latest findings. By exploring recent advancements, the goal is to contribute to a profound understanding of tailored nutrition plans, specific diets, lifestyle modifications, and exercise regimens, which can strategically enhance cancer survivors' well-being and long-term outcomes.
