Key Points

  • Exercise significantly improves outcomes for cancer patients by reducing recurrence and improving survival rates.
  • Ticks can be active year-round, making it essential to regularly check for and promptly remove them to minimize the risk of tick-borne diseases.
  • Drinking black coffee, whether caffeinated or decaffeinated, can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by modulating blood sugar levels and enhancing insulin sensitivity.
