Cancer Prevention - How to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer

Cancer Prevention - How to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer
Traditional medical treatments for cancer may include
surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone
therapy. Many doctors use a combination of methods in an
effort to increase the effectiveness and speed at which
they attack the cancer. The treatment or combination of
treatments is often dependent on the type, location, and
severity of the cancer. While all of these therapies have
been used with varying degrees of success - NONE OF THEM
address the main problem with cancer - TOO MANY PEOPLE GET
CANCER!

What is the ultimate solution to cancer? What should YOU
be focused on?

How about not getting sick in the first place!

If given a choice, would you rather take a few simple steps
to avoid cancer or do you want to take your chances and
fight it once your doctor tells you you've got it? Would
you rather spend your retirement money on the latest
creative treatments and expensive high-tech equipment or
spend time with the ones you love doing the things you love
the most?

Just how much does our cancer crisis cost you? Consider
that every man, woman and child in the U.S. contributes
nearly $720 each year - that's almost $3,000 for a family
of four! That number was calculated by taking the total
health care cost of cancer and dividing it by the total
U.S. population. No tricks. No funny money games. What
could your family do with that $3,000 today?

Why spend hard earned money on treatments that often impact
our quality of life? Many of the therapies for cancer are
so physically debilitating that patients are often not able
to return to work or do daily tasks around the house.
People with cancer often require family members to help
with the basic necessities of life, including getting
dressed, taking a bath, and going to the bathroom.

Just as with heart disease, there are VERY SIMPLE lifestyle
changes that you can start doing today that can decrease
you risk of developing cancer. These same simple changes
can also improve your overall quality of life. Ready?
Here's the list:

1. Don't use any tobacco products. Don't smoke. Don't
chew. Don't puff. Smoking is responsible for 90% of all
cases of lung cancer. Want to drop your chances of
contracting lung cancer to 10%? It's simple....don't
smoke, chew or puff.

2. Protect yourself from the sun. Skin cancer is one of
the most common forms of cancer yet it is the MOST
PREVENTABLE. Avoiding peak sunlight (between 10am and
4pm), wearing sunscreen, and avoiding tanning beds and
sunlamps can virtually eliminate the risk of skin cancer.

3. Maintain a healthy weight. There is a direct
relationship between excess body weight and those that die
of cancer. The American Cancer Society found that the more
overweight you are, the greater your risk of dying from
cancer.

4. Keep your immune system working properly. Cancer cells
appear in our body every day, but our immune system knows
how to recognize an unhealthy cell and eliminate it. Our
central nervous system plays a major role in the function
of our immune system so anything we can do to strengthen
our central nervous system will reduce our risk of cancer.
Two key ways to keep our central nervous system operating
at peak performance is spinal alignment (yep, go see the
chiropractor) and eating nutrient dense foods. Studies
have found that this one-two punch increases the amount of
antibodies within your system within minutes after a spinal
adjustment or consuming a nutrient dense supplement.

5. Exercise on a regular basis. Physical activity is one
of the primary methods of maintaining your ideal weight and
in keeping your body's organs, tissue, muscle, ligaments,
and bones strong and healthy.

6. Eat nutritionally dense meals and supplement. Eat
lighter and leaner by choosing to eat fewer high-fat foods.
High fat diets may increase your risk of prostate, colon,
rectum and uterus cancer. Supplement with nutrient dense
supplements that are made from nutrient dense plants such
as aloe vera and sea vegetables.

7. Think healthy. Studies have shown over and over again
that reducing stress will reduce the risk of cancer AND
heart disease. Take time out of your day, better yet, plan
each day to remove stress. Stress weakens cells, weak
cells makes the body more susceptible to developing cancer.

That's it. Seven of the easiest steps you can do today to
reduce your risk of cancer. To make them really work for
you, learn a bit more about each. There is plenty of
information about exercise, nutritional supplements,
reducing stress, losing weight, etc. Learn more, do more,
and choose to NOT be one of the million plus people
diagnosed with cancer each year.
