As we know, cancer can be an emotionally devastating issue; this is not only to you as a sufferer but to your family and friends. There are some anticancer recommendations and daily food intake that can minimize cancer risk.

While chemotherapy and radiation can kill cancer cells, these therapies are general toxins against the toxic effects of chemo and radiation, thus making the cancer cells more vulnerable to the medicine. Proper nutrition can make chemo and radiation more of a selective toxin against the cancer and less damaging to the patient.

Most of us eats too much, and specifically eats too much meat, too much fat, too much cholesterol, too much sugar, and too much salt. The diet is found to be lacking in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Uncontrolled Diet and nutrition appear to be key factors in higher cancer risk. Tobacco is a factor in of human cancers. Other known risk factors associated with the development of cancer are alcohol, chemicals, drugs, and other environmental factors. You have total control over most of these risk factors, including the major two, diet and tobacco. Continue reading ‘Cancer Risk Factor and Nutrition’ »

Thoughts on diet and nutrition for cancer generally

In dealing with a diagnosis of cancer, it is generally agreed that diet can be a major influence. Perhaps a simple rule is best, albeit difficult, to follow in a daily routine and that is the rule of consuming only whole foods. Whole foods are those made up of only themselves. No combinations such as in cake, biscuits and bread for example. Single, whole foods such as vegetables, fruits and unprocessed meats. Foods packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals. We have been after all, (probably) used to a diet of eating pretty much what ever we wanted and when we wanted. Is this then, one of the many reasons, that we have arrived at this sorry place?

To get the best nutrient efficiency now, the rules have to change. Some foods are going to be “in” our daily routine, and some will have to, necessarily, be dropped. The things that we eat vary in their capacity to support our immune systems by being nutrient and mineral and vitamin rich, and some foods, including manufactured foods contain no such benefits (or at least so few that it actually costs the immune system, energy to process them). Many foods today are constructed with natural carcinogens, such as smoked or pickled goods that exacerbate colon cancer and bowel cancer in particular. Others have carcinogens called pro-carcinogens such as saccharin or artificial colors, nitrates and nitrites. Some fats and deep fried foods are particularly unhelpful, but the risk can be augmented through supplementation of such vitamin and minerals as vitamin D and calcium.

Cancer treatment can have a negative impact on your immune system and this is why you need to find ways to enhance it. This will help you fight the disease and restore your health. There are various practical steps that you can take including using Beta Glucan to enhance your health. The medication that is used to fight the disease is very strong therefore you need Bill Henderson cancer advice about how to take care of yourself to make the treatment more effective.

Proper Nutrition
One of the things you should do after your diagnosis is to pay attention to what you eat. According to Bill Henderson cancer, the foods you eat will determine how good your immune system is. When you have this disease, your diet needs change because you require more energy to handle the treatment. This means that you will need additional calories and proteins compared to a healthy individual. Continue reading ‘Beta Glucan – Boosting Your Immunity After Cancer Diagnosis’ »

More news on daily vitamin D intake, known for helping strengthen bones and immune system while lowering your risks of some life-altering diseases. New research has discovered that a higher amount of vitamin D is needed than once thought to really impact the risk of major diseases, including your chances of getting cancer (both breast and colon), multiple sclerosis and diabetes.

This study of vitamin D levels used the results of from a survey involving several thousand subjects who took vitamin D supplements ranging from a low of 1,000 to a high of 10,000 IUs a day. The participants also had blood tests to establish the number of vitamin D metabolites in the bloodstream.

A recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey finds that a mere 10% of those living in the U.S. have the right level of vitamin D in their bloodstream to stop serious disease. These are often people who work (or spend lots of time) outdoors so they get a natural boost in those vitamin D levels.

We all fear cancer because we fear what we don’t understand but with a little knowledge about its causes and the reasons why there is so much of it today we need have no fear of it. Cancer today is well understood and is only a disease of an immune system that’s been weakened by the way we now live so common sense should tell us that the first priority is to strengthen it.

Such is the power of our current medical system that we all believe the only way to treat cancer is by cutting it out with surgery, burning it with radiation or using a poison to try and eliminate it and these three treatments are accepted without question these days. Our treatments for cancer today are very good at causing cancer to shrink but that’s about all they can achieve. Also these three ways of treating it all suppress the immune system and that is not very helpful when you are trying to achieve a complete restore to health.

Your immune system is a very important tool when fighting cancer because a permanent cure will only be achieved by using this system. Most people don’t realize that when cancer has been diagnosed there are gentle and effective ways to overcome it. Our bodies are designed to maintain and heal themselves without the use of drugs and you do that through natural living.

You know that weight lifting can make you healthier but how? Many people know what is good and bad in terms of exercise and nutrition but they do not really know why. If you fall into this camp of people who know but don’t really know then rest easy. You are about to learn exactly how weight lifting can make you healthier.

Weight Management

When you lift weights then you put on more muscle. Muscle burns calories all the time, just being there on your body. This means that even though you only life weights a few times a week, the muscle that you put on is burning more calories for you around the clock.

In fact, one pound of muscle can burn off up to 50 calories each day. Instead of cutting food out of your presumably already healthy diet, just lift weights and put on a few extra pounds of muscle. You’ll be slimmer in no time. And your body will have the nice shape that comes with toned muscle too. Continue reading ‘How Weight Lifting Can Make You Healthier’ »

In the world of medical fears, few things rank as high as cancer. For many people, a cancer diagnosis challenges their view of themselves as a “healthy person.” Fortunately, many cancers are curable. You can survive cancer and be healthy.

Cancer Biology 101

A basic understanding of how cancer develops can help you take advantage of what nutrition has to offer. Food can and should be a part of your plan for reducing the risk of cancer, and the risk of getting cancer again if you’ve already had it.

There are three basic steps to cancer development. Obviously, the process is very complicated at the cellular level. But the three-step model explains the most important changes that lead to cancer. These three steps represent some of the best opportunities for preventing cancer from developing at all. Continue reading ‘How To Turn Off The Cancer Switch’ »

Skin cancer has now been linked to deficiencies in the diet. Carcinogens that are consumed can form cancer when they infiltrate cells and corrupt the DNA. This causes the mutation of the DNA which converts the normal cells into malignant cells. The way your body fights off these mutations is through boosting your immune system through a healthy diet and nutritional supplementation. This is good news because it gives you the power to help your body in its fight against this disease.

In addition to a healthy diet and nutritional supplementation your body also needs antioxidants. The antioxidants can actually deactivate free radicals which cause an oxidation process to occur that allows the carcinogens to enter into normal cells. You don’t want that if you are concerned about living your life to the fullest. Continue reading ‘Skin Cancer Prevention Through Nutrition’ »
