Exercise

I believe we all know exercise is good for us.  The thought doesn't always get us working out, though.  All of my doctors stressed exercise once I finished my treatments. Because I am determined to survive and thrive, I started walking as much as I could once I no longer needed a cane. I joined the local gym with my 3-month free pass and plan to continue my membership when the free months are over.

I can tell that exercise helps me feel better.  It helps my depression. I sleep better. I have more energy the day after I exercise.  Exercise really does help fatigue.  So, I'm not surprised that this article suggests exercise improves memory.

My memory problems started while I was on chemo.  My memory seems to have improved in the past 6 months but I still struggle with remembering names and remembering recent conversations.  Hopefully exercise along with better nutrition will help me remember a little better.
