Prostate Cancer and Benefits of Yoga

Yoga has plenty of benefits, including lower stress, improved sleep, increased lung capacity, and reduced pain. A study published in Medical News Today suggests those benefits may now extend to men undergoing radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Although an effective treatment for men with prostate cancer, radiation therapy can have side effects that impair their quality of life. The study found that with yoga sessions throughout the course of radiation therapy, the quality of life of men participating in the study remained consistent, while fatigue severity greatly improved.
