Living Well After Cancer: A New Guide for Survivors

Cancer survivors often deal with health issues caused by the disease and its treatment. They also have a higher chance of developing other long-term health problems. This can lead to multiple health conditions at once, known as multimorbidity.

The Power of Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle changes can help a lot. Up to 80% of chronic diseases can be prevented or managed better with healthy habits. These habits include:

• Eating more plants
• Moving regularly
• Keeping a healthy weight

These changes can also help cancer survivors live longer and feel better.

Introducing the LMCT Toolkit

A new toolkit from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) is here to help. It's called the Lifestyle Medicine Cancer Risk Reduction and Survivorship Toolkit (LMCT). This toolkit is:

• Easy to use
• Full of helpful information
• Designed to help healthcare workers and cancer survivors make positive lifestyle changes

Support from MASCC

The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) supports this toolkit. They think it's a great resource for cancer care. The toolkit can help survivors take control of their health and live well after cancer.

Practical Guide for Better Health

The LMCT is a practical guide. It offers:

• Evidence-based advice on lifestyle changes
• A useful tool for anyone involved in cancer care
• Help for survivors to make healthy choices and improve their quality of life
