exercising while on ADT

While the EMBARK Trial did show that there is a real benefit to using Enzalutamide Along with ADT there is a problem with fatigue from both ADT and Enzalutamide. Many people have complained about much more fatigue with it, though it doesn’t affect everybody that way.

A better option would be to get Darolutamide, Which works almost the same as Enzalutamide But does not have the fatigue problem for most people. You might approach that option with your doctor.

I’ve been on ADT for nine years. I’ve not had a fatigue problem, but I walk on the track across the street twice a day every day for about a mile each time. I also try to get to the gym three times a week. After I go to the gym, I jog the track after about a half hour rest.

One thing I have found is that electrolytes makes a major difference in energy. A couple of weeks ago I started drinking a liter of electrolytes Before going to the track in the morning at 11. If I don’t drink the electrolytes, I can jog about halfway around the track and then I have to walk halfway because I don’t have enough energy. If I drink the electrolytes, I can jog the whole way around the track for a mile in the morning and the afternoon just from having that electrolyte drink in the morning.

I was making the WHO version of electrolytes, which is a liter of water Two level teaspoons of sugar and a level 1/2 teaspoon of salt. I used tapwater and can drink it down in less than five minutes. If I refrigerate it, it takes forever to drink.

Just something to consider. Plenty of companies make electrolyte drinks you could just buy.

Major error in this recipe.

During the summer heatwaves, I just stirred a squirt of lemon or lime juice and a pinch of salt into each glass of water. Same idea.
