Living Well with the Power of 3

The Power of 3 is a roadmap for taking an active role in living well.

Physical Strength. Physical activity intersects with oncology in both the prediagnosis and survivorship settings. According to the American Cancer Society Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention, getting more physical activity is associated with a lower risk for several types of cancer. Increasing your physical strength can also decrease side effects and speed recovery in many cases.

Mindfulness/Emotional Strength. Cancer and its treatment can be stressful for you and your caregivers. Practicing mindfulness and relaxation can help calm your mind, reduce stress, sharpen your ability to focus and promote peacefulness. By strengthening your mind, you can reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

Spiritual Strength. Spirituality may be expressed through an organized religion or in many other ways. Spiritual well-being may help improve quality of life and reduce distress, anger and discomfort. Your spiritual resolve can play a key role in setting goals and planning treatment.
