New guidelines published recently by the American Cancer Society recommend healthy diets, weight control and exercise for cancer survivors to keep cancer at bay. Lower energy levels and sedentary lifestyles represent a significant barrier to these recommendations. TrekDesk Treadmill Desks offer a unique solution.

Guidelines recently released by the American Cancer Society recommend exercise, healthy diets and weight control as an effective means of minimizing the risk of cancer re-occurrence. Many cancer survivors face the challenge of lower energy levels and sedentary work environments confounding their efforts to stay physically active. TrekDesk treadmill desks offer a unique product that transforms sedentary environments into active workplace health solutions.

Dr. Colleen Doyle, Director of Nutrition and Physical Activity at the American Cancer Society and co-author of the recent guidelines stated that the majority of peer reviewed published studies show that these recommendations result in a considerably lower risk of premature mortality risks from cancer and other diseases as well, including heart disease. Doyle also brought attention to the fact that survivors of breast, colorectal and prostate cancer have much lower survival rates as their body weight increases.

“The average American without cancer walks less than half the amount necessary daily to achieve health minimums set by the Surgeon General, so imagine the challenges faced by an individual who has battled cancer,” stated Steve Bordley, CEO of TrekDesk Treadmill Desks. “Our goal is to offer products that allow all individuals the opportunity to move throughout the day and activate the natural health restorative properties of the body.”
