Walking

Stretching
The risk of Cancer can be reduced to the extreme by keeping the muscles flexible, strong and healthy as the blood flow increases thereby providing oxygen to the muscles which enables the body to repair itself. Stretching is also efficient to recover from cancer treatments. Because the radiation therapies tend to limit the range of motion and stretching can tone down the tissues that would help in opening up the stiffening muscles.
Blowing up Balloons
Blowing up balloons is an effective breathing exercise for the people who are suffering from lung cancer. It allows oxygen to enter into your lungs and expel the carbon dioxide from it. This will keep your lungs healthy and improve your endurance. Blowing up balloons increases your lungs’ ability to maintain a sufficient flow of oxygen.
