Wellbeing
Thankfully my doctors drilled into my dense head early on after surgery and radiation treatment following my prostate cancer diagnosis in 2011 that the two most significant things I could do to help fend off a relapse were (1) engage in more exercise and (2) have a better diet. It's a fairly commonsense approach for anyone looking to stay healthy(er) regardless of whether or not you've ever had a dance with cancer. On the exercise front I try to workout at least 5 days a week, 30 minutes per day - and most weeks I meet that goal. On the food front, in general I stick to about an 80-20 rule with my diet -- eat smart/healthy 80% of the time - more if possible and the remaining 20% is for strategic (ch)eating since a life of total denial wouldn't be much fun.
