**Promoting Longevity after Cancer Treatment: The Importance of a Heart-Healthy Lifestyle**A healthy lifestyle can play a significant role in promoting longevity and reducing mortality risk among cancer survivors. Researchers have found that adopting heart-healthy habits can decrease the risk of early death, particularly for those who have undergone treatments that increase cardiovascular risks.
According to a recent study published in the European Heart Journal, cancer survivors can reduce their risk of premature mortality by maintaining healthy habits such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, avoiding tobacco, and keeping their body weight and blood pressure at healthy levels.
The study highlights the importance of integrating cardiovascular health promotion into cancer care. The researchers utilized the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 plan to evaluate the participants' medical records. This plan emphasizes seven key factors involved in maintaining heart health:
- Diet
- Exercise
- Tobacco avoidance
- Healthy body weight
- Optimal blood pressure levels
- Healthy cholesterol levels
- Controlled blood glucose levels
Experts agree that healthy heart habits are particularly important for cancer survivors. "This study underscores the critical importance of cardiovascular health promotion in cancer care," said Rohan Khera, MD, a specialist in cardiovascular medicine at Yale Medicine. "While the study cannot prove causation, it provides evidence to support a focus on cardiovascular prevention into cancer survivorship care."
