10 Diet and Lifestyle Tips To Prevent Cancer

Article by AK Shyam.
Cancer is one disease that every one of us gets scared perhaps partly because of the myth around it and partly because of the way that it is handled poorly by professional doctors. The mainstream cancer treatment or an alternate cannot boast cent percent success. On the contrary, it has been observed that there is always some risk attached to any any method of cancer treatment.

Eating habits:
We are often ignorant of the entire food processing in our body that provides energy required for our routine activities during the day. What we generally know is that the intake through mouth is driven through Esophagus into stomach and once this is full, we declare that we are satisfied. It is said that it takes normally 2-3 hours for 50% of the contents to empty into the intestine and total emptying of the stomach takes 4-5 hours. Transit through the colon takes 30-40 hours.

Depending upon what we feed, they manifest themselves into healthy, medium healthy and unhealthy grades in the human body. The digestive system not only extracts beneficial ingredients of the food but also generates waste that ought to be disposed regularly through the other opening.

It is presumed that this happens to be one of the prime activities of the human body that determines the wellbeing of human health. Any imbalance in the process may lead to altered digestion and metabolism strengths.

Ayurveda strongly recommends
– to consume food only when a person is really hungry.
– not to avoid food when someone is totally hungry.

This ensures that
– the enzymes are produced and used up at the right times
– the nutritious food that is taken is completely used up by the body, without leaving out excess of byproducts / waste products in the gut, which may alter metabolism and immunity.

Modern lifestyle
The modern day busy lifestyle does not provide time for activities like walking/physical exercise and thereby many miss the vital input – Oxygen to the body.

How often do we consciously check our heartbeat or breathing which are an integral part of our well-being? They happen at the subconscious level.

Stress, sedentary lifestyle habits:
Sitting for long hours also has bearing on our health. The busy office schedules, targets are directly linked to emotional issues. Strong emotional shocks like, death of loved one, loss of job, divorce or others could have serious influencing impact leading to cancer.

The diet
Change in eating plan would detoxify your body and you could be free of cancer. You may have to give up a few items and replace them with lots of organic fruits and vegetables.

Good amount of natural oxygen:
It is strongly believed that Oxygenation fights cancer cells which can thrive only in anaerobic condition. Healthy cells get more oxygen and make you vibrant. This is in fact a strong reason to include 30-45 minutes of compulsory walking in the morning, preferably ( Perhaps the best time to grab the vital oxygen is early hours of the day). You experience positive energy for the entire day. When this is combined with the next secret, you will have kept cancer at least 60% away from you.

Vitamin D seems to play a considerable role in preventing prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, depression, colon cancer and schizophrenia. It is therefore necessary to check vitamin D levels once in a while.

Acidic environment of human body promotes cancer unlike the alkaline environment, which helps to fight cancer better.
Hormonal (Oestrogen), lack of sleep, Electromagnetic forces, Chemicals and pesticides, stress hormones, Low blood oxygen are also responsible for acid body.

Regular exercise not only helps increase oxygen but also hemoglobin level. Exercise reduces physical and mental stress and improves immunity.

Regular water intake maintains alkalinity of the body. Please ensure you drink clean water as additives sodium fluoride and chlorine are believed to cancer-causing agents. Mere filtration may not eliminate Trihalomethanes (THMs), fluoride and a host of other heavy metals, toxins and contaminates. Reverse osmosis filtration could give you a better confidence.

Herbs that could prevent cancer:
Moringa oleifera is a leguminous plant which has been traditionally used in India. It is highly beneficial to human health because of its medicinal and nutritional properties. The unknown fact about Moringa perhaps is that it not only retards tumour but, reduces tumour which means it is cancer preventive. Moringa leaves contain protein, vitamin C, potassium and Vitamin A. The rich Zeatin (member of Cytokinins) reduces cell division and growth and works as anti-aging agent.

Raw onion (Allium cepa) – Onions contain 25 active compounds that appear to inhibit the growth of cancerous cells alliin being the main constituent. Onion has been found to help combat heart disease, inhibit strokes, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and stimulate the immune system. The potassium salts and the flavonoids that are present perform an anti-inflammatory action. The essential oil is an expectorant, antiseptic, antifungal, anticoagulant, high-blood pressure, antithelmitic, balsamic and has analgesic properties. Onion uses, research, side effects

Tomato (solanum lycopersicum uses – Tomatoes contain all four major carotenoids. alpha- and beta-carotene, lutein, and lycopene. These carotenoids may have individual benefits, but also have synergy as a group (that is, they interact to provide health benefits). Tomatoes are good for your skin.

Tomatoes contain a high level of lycopene, Tomatoes help prevent several types of cancer, reduce your chances of developing prostate, colorectal and stomach cancer. Lycopene is a natural antioxidant that works effectively to slow the growth of cancerous cells.

[www.keralites.net] : The Magnesium Miracle

The Magnesium Miracle

Research Now Links Depletion of This Simple Mineral to Heart Disease, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Fatigue, and 52 Other Conditions — and Most Americans Don't Get Nearly Enough . . .

"Magnesium is by far the most important nutrient in the body."

And this is NOT just a lot of hype. Dr. Carolyn Dean lists 56 different health conditions that research now indicates are associated with magnesium deficiency. Here are just a few of them:

Heart disease and high blood pressure
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases
Arthritis
Bowel disease
Depression and anxiety
Diabetes
Fatigue
Migraines and tension headaches
Osteoporosis
Muscle cramps or spasms, and back pain

Of course, the highest concentrations of magnesium in the body are found in the heart and brain, so it's little wonder that magnesium depletion leads to problems in these two vital organs.

Perhaps you take good care of yourself, and scoff at the idea that you — or your loved ones — could be deficient in magnesium. Alarmingly, Dr. Dean also lets loose this bombshell: The majority of people in our country do suffer, usually unknowingly, from magnesium deficiency.

Why? Well, our dietary intake of magnesium has declined significantly since 1900. The National Academy of Sciences reports that most American women only obtain about 70% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of magnesium; men average only about 80%.

And the RDA is merely the minimum level to stave off serious deficiency symptoms — well below the optimal level for good health, according to many health professionals.

As a population, we have many reasons for becoming depleted in magnesium: diets high in processed foods, magnesium-depleted soil, certain medication interactions, and fluoridated water, which renders magnesium unavailable to the body.

Chronic stress elevates the stress hormone adrenaline, which further depletes magnesium.

Last but not least, aging is a risk factor for magnesium deficiency. And in a vicious circle, accelerated aging is also a byproduct of magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium performs hundreds of functions in the body; however, many researchers believe its most important function is cellular energy production. The enzyme ATP, created in the mitochondria of each body cell, is our main source of cellular energy. ATP must be bound to a magnesium ion in order to be biologically active. Unfortunately, most people just don't have enough magnesium ions available.

Because magnesium is so essential to body energy production, common symptoms of magnesium depletion include fatigue, along with headaches, insomnia, and muscle pain, cramps, and spasms.

[www.keralites.net] : top 5 vitamins you should not take

The Top Five Vitamins You Should Not Take

I used to take vitamin supplements almost every day. Taking vitamins seemed like a good idea: after all, we know that vitamins are essential for life, and vitamin deficiencies can definitely hurt you. I always thought that vitamins were an inexpensive way to get a little bit healthier.

Millions of Americans apparently agree with me. Close to half of the population in the U.S. takes vitamins, with multi-vitamins being the most popular.* Vitamins are sold in virtually every grocery store, ranging from mega-markets like Wegmans to the organic Whole Foods chain.

The vitamin and supplements industry, which is immensely profitable, relies on the intuition that if a little bit of something is good for you, a bit more can't hurt. Right?

Wrong. If you don't have a serious vitamin deficiency, taking supplemental vitamins doesn't provide any benefit, in almost all cases that have been studied. What's even more surprising is this: routinely taking mega-doses of vitamins might actually harm you.

So here are the top 5 vitamins that you should not take (unless your doctor recommends it):

1. Vitamin C. Perhaps the most popular single vitamin supplement, vitamin C occurs in plentiful amounts in many fresh fruits and vegetables. In the early days of global exploration, sailors often died from scurvy, caused by the lack of vitamin C. Way back in the 1700′s, Scottish doctor James Lind famously conducted an experiment that proved that citrus fruit cured scurvy, although vitamin C itself wasn't discovered until the 1930s.

Vitamin C gained its current popularity through the woefully misguided efforts of Linus Pauling, who published a book in 1970 recommending mega-doses of C to prevent the common cold. Although Pauling was a brilliant chemist (and Nobel laureate), he was completely wrong about vitamin C, as Paul Offit explains in detail in his new book, "Do You Believe in Magic?"

Vitamin C doesn't prevent or cure colds. This question has been studied exhaustively: a review in 2005 covering 50 years worth of research concluded that

"the lack of effect … throws doubt on the utility of this wide practice."

Although Vitamin C is generally safe, megadoses of 2000 mg or more can increase the risk of kidney stones, which can be excruciatingly painful.

2. Vitamin A and beta carotene. Vitamins A, C, and E are all anti-oxidants, which have been promoted for their supposed anti-cancer properties. The evidence doesn't support this: for example, in a large study supported by the National Cancer Institute*, smokers who took vitamin A were more likely to get lung cancer than those who didn't.

Vitamin A plays an important role in vision, but too much vitamin A can be toxic, causing multiple serious side effects. Perhaps the most famous cases of vitamin A toxicity occurred in early polar explorers, who ate the livers of their sled dogs, not realizing that the livers had excessively high amounts of vitamin A. Antarctic explorer Douglas Mawson barely survived, and his companions died, probably of vitamin A poisoning.

3. Vitamin E. Long touted as an anti-cancer agent, vitamin E is a very popular supplement. A large study last year, of 35,533 men, looked at vitamin E and the risk of prostate cancer. The authors found that the risk of cancerincreased for men taking vitamin E. In an even larger review done at Johns Hopkins University, Edgar Miller and Lawrence Appel found that the overall risk of death was higher in people who took vitamin E. The Mayo Clinic summarizes the evidence this way:

"Evidence suggests that regular use of high-dose vitamin E may increase the risk of death from all causes by a small amount."

4. Vitamin B6. The B vitamins, including B6 and B12, are present in many foods, and deficiencies are rare. But taking B6 supplements for a long time can be harmful, as NIH's website explains*:

"People almost never get too much vitamin B6 from food. But taking high levels of vitamin B6 from supplements for a year or longer can cause severe nerve damage, leading people to lose control of their bodily movements."

5. Multi-vitamins. This is the big one. With nearly 40% of Americans taking a multi-vitamin, they must be good for you, right? But a huge study that I wrote about last year, looking at 38,772 women over 25 years, found that the overall risk of death increased with long-term use of multivitamins, vitamin B6, folic acid, iron, magnesium, zinc, and copper. Death, one must admit, is a pretty bad outcome.

On the evidence, supplementing your diet with any of these 5 vitamins carries little or no benefit, and may cause you harm. This is why we do science, people. Our intuitions aren't always right: just because a little bit of something is good for you does not mean that a lot of it is even better.

Vitamins don't "boost your immune system," they don't promote joint health, they don't reduce stress, and they don't help prevent colds or other common ailments.

So what should one do? Ignore the marketing, and treat supplements like you would any other medicine: take them with caution. If you are taking regular vitamin supplements, or thinking about it, ask your doctor before doing so.

And by the way, 100 grams of spinach has healthy amounts of vitamins A, C, E, K, several B vitamins, and essential minerals including iron and calcium.

So ditch the vitamins and eat your spinach. Or blueberries. Blueberries are great.

Acupuncture to Treat Headaches

Acupuncture has been used for centuries in Eastern and Chinese medicine, but now more than 80 million Chinese use this therapy to treat chronic headaches. At Taiwan's Kaohsiung Medical University it was found that daily acupuncture treatments work much better than prescription muscle relaxants. This is because acupuncture prompts the release of powerful painkilling hormones called endorphins and relaxes the scalp muscles to soothe the overactive pain nerves.
