There has been numerous new research studies and findings that validate our yoga4cancer methodology and approach. We wanted to share with you:
- Gentle yoga is not enough. Active yoga (and exercise) is necessary for cancer survivors and patients. ‘Mice who spent their free time on a running wheel were better able to shrink tumors (a 50% reduction in tumor size) compared to their less active counterparts. Researchers found that the surge of adrenaline that comes with a high-intensity workout helped to move cancer-killing immune (NK) cells toward lung, liver, or skin tumors implanted into the mice. The study appears Feb. 16, 2016 in Cell Metabolism.’ Read more here.
- ‘Meditation eases pain, anxiety and fatigue during breast cancer biopsy’ by Duke Cancer Institute. Read more here.
- ‘Exercise during menopause could reduce hot flashes.’ Conducted by ‘Women’s Bio-behavioral Health Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh. Read more here.
- ‘Yoga Shown to Boost Brain Power in Older Adults’ (from 2014 but still a good one). By University of Illinois. Read more here.
