It is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) is dedicated to educating and empowering women to take charge of their own breast health.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I’d like to share some information that is sometimes overlooked when women talk about breast cancer… Here are some things you should know about this disease:
1.Increased exposure to estrogen can raise breast cancer risk. Exercise helps decrease circulating levels of estrogen in the body.
2. Smoking and second-hand smoke increase the risk of breast cancer. This is another great reason why we should not smoke and not tolerate second hand smoke either.
3. Eat Organic! The major difference in Organic produce to Commericial produce lies in the difference in the use of Pesticides & Commericial Fertilizers. Commercially grown fruits & vegetables have more pesticide residues than Organic varieties. Also, compounds like Nitrates (which can be converted into Cancer-producing chemicals) are more prevalent in Commericially grown produce.
4. Rid Your Body of Pollutants Ten Fast Ways to Reduce Pollutants
Eat less meat, get free range beef, chicken, turkey & eggs
Eat more Organic Vegetables & Fruits
Peel off or wash commerical produce
Eat more fiber
Drink more Purified Water
Don’t drink any tap water or beverages made with tap water
Don’t use Aluminum & Plastic in Cooking
Organic produce will generally contain higher amounts of essential minerals becuase of crop rotation. Commercially grown crops are often not rotates in different soils, but are grown over and over in the same mineral depleated soils. This is why extensive use of fertilizers are required for these crops. Organically grown produce has been shown to have up to three times more Minerals & Trace elements than Commerical produce.
Studies also show that beneficient plant chemicals called Phytochemicals are higher in Organic Produce. Many of these Phytochemicals have been linked to reduced Cancer risk. In addition to the numberious Cancer Preventing & Health Benefits, Orgnic Food also has a much better taste!

Significance of Vitamins
Significance of Vitamins
Vitamins are one of the two groups of substances classified as micronutrients (the other is minerals) that are essential in human nutrition. Vitamins are organic, meaning they contain the element carbon and are found in plant and animal substances in small amounts. We obtain them by eating the plants and animals that make them. Most vitamins cannot be manufactured in our body; exceptions are some of the B Vitamins, which can be made by our intestinal bacteria, and occasional biochemical conversions from a precursor to the active form of the required vitamin, as when beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A. Vitamins help convert carbohydrates, proteins & fats to more bioavailable or metabolically useful forms. Vitamins function principally as coenzymes (in collaboration to enzymes) for a variety of metabolic reactions and biochemical mechanisms within our many bodily systems. Each enzyme is specific to one biochemical reaction. Enzymes are catalysts, they speed up specific chemical reactions that would proceed very slowly, if at all, without them.
We cannot live on vitamins alone but need specific foods that provides energy and helps from the actual tissues of our body. In fact, we need food and certain minerals to best absorb any vitamin supplements we take. Vitamins are essential for growth, vitality, and health and are helpful in digestion, elimination and resistance to disease. Depletions or deficiencies to specific vitamins can lead to a variety of both specific nutritional disorders and general health problems, according to what vitamin in lacking in the diet.

The Health Benefits of Exercise are Numerous. Below is a list of some Highlights to Motivate You!
- Resistance training has the potential to improve muscle strength and endurance, enhance flexibility and body composition, decrease risk factors for cardiovascular disease and improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity;
- There is a strong inverse relationship between physical fitness and mortality due to all causes;
- Incidence of all forms of cancer is closely related to the lack of fitness. Unfit men and women are nearly 300% more likely to develop cancer;
- A moving body maintains and improves insulin function;
- Exercise increases overall white cell counts in the blood. This includes lymphocytes, interleukin, and neutriphils;
- Exercise strengthens immunity and improves resistance to all kinds of damage including bacteria, viruses, toxins, and radiation.
- Exercise prevents fat build up in the coronary arteries of the heart;
- Weight training does not only increase the metabolism, but it builds muscle and preserves bone mass. A 21-year study from the University of Helsinki, Finland, involving more than 3,200 men, showed that those who exercised vigorously in their 40s and 50s were much less likely to sustain hip fractures than men who were sedentary. Even moderate exercise offered some protection.
- Exercise helps relieve the symptoms of depression.
The list goes on. Study after study confirms this. The right exercise should be the cornerstone of any health building program. As I have shown, it helps regulate hormones, increase metabolism, increase bone mass, lower cholesterol levels, increase the immune system. To me the answer is clear. Exercise and physical training is not an option. It is a must. It is time to build a Healthy Body!
Positive health requires a knowledge of man’s primary constitution and of the powers of various foods, both those natural and those resulting from human skill. But eating alone is not enough for health. There must be exercise of which the effects must likewise be known. If there is any deficiency in food or exercise, the body will fall sick. Hippocrates – 5th Century BC
The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, in the cause and prevention of disease. Thomas Edison

The Super Eight Food Groups: A Diet to Defeat Cancer
More then 2,000 years ago Hippocrates, a Greek physician know as The Father of Medicine realized the vital link between diet & disease. It’s astonishing to the point of regret that it has taken over two millennia for Western medicine to seriously investigate how diet can be a deterrent to disease.

“Your Food shall be your Remedy. Let Food Be your Medicine & let Medicine be your food” – Hippocrates, Greek Physician
To Medical researchers the discovery of vitamins, along with their absolute necessity to Health, was one of the greatest scientific achievements of the 20th century. Vitamins in the classic sense are vital factors for sustaining life. A diet lacking a single vitamin or essential mineral will result in disease & eventually death.

The modern food industry centers its efforts on processing food by mashing & grinding it, and then caking & baking, toasting, roasting, pasteurizing, sterilizing, and evaporating it until what is left is a meal stripped clean of protective agents. They then add a medley of stabilizing agents, flavor enhancers, thickeners, leavening agents, emulsifiers, humectans, sweetners, preservatives, and coloring agents. This food is alian to our systems & does not resemble anything close to organic whole food. Processed foods contain little fiber which, in turn, suppports a multimillion-dollar industry for fiber supplements.
Why Overprocessed Food Is Unhealthy ~Processing strips away anticancer agents like Glutathione that cannot be obtained from any other source in your diet. ~Toxic products are formed by high heat processing ~Processed food forms unnatural amino aicds (lysinoalanine) that are toxic & known to disrupt the manufacture of DNA. ~Heating can form antinutritional products that interfere with utilization, absorption, transport & digestion of Nutrients. ~Plant fibers is degrated & removed from many food products ~Irradiation of food is very controversial process. Studies show that split products (so-called radiolytic products) are toxic in animals. ~Minterals are lost. Food processing techniques also strip important mineral contents. ~Fat is added. Processed foods have high levels of trans-fatty acids & other oxidizied fats that are linked to causing heart disease & cancer. ~Excess sugar is added to processed foods for taste. ~Non-nutritive sweeteners used in some processed foods are linked to increased brain cancer & hyperactvity in children. ~Processing of food is known to form substances that cause allergies.
Dietary factors other then vitamins & minerals play an even more crucial role that traditionally acclaimed vitamins. Antioxidents 300 times more powerful then vitamin E have been found in beans, soy products, and seed oils. And recent experimental studies concur that switching from the traditional Japanese diet yields a subsquent rise of colon & prostate cancer, hallmarks of the affluent diet. Another Cancer Combatant is Chlorophyll, the Green Pigment found in dark green plans and a necessary component of phytosynthsis. Chlorophyll & related compounds are recognized as being responsible for most of the antitoxic activit of certain vegetable extracts. For example, charbroiling food creates compounds that attack DNA, yet chlorophyll blocks the toxicity. If you consume foods rich in chlorophyll during a meal of charbroiled meat, the chlorophyll blocks formation of toxic agents. Fill your diet with cancer-crushing mixtures & your DNA will be less likely to get sliced, diced & pulverised with above normal mutations.
Eat Whole Organic Foods rather then quick-cooking processed foods. Fresh is better then frozen & frozen is better then canned.
The Super Eight Food Groups:
1. Onion Group – onion, garlic, asparagus Anticancer, antioxident, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, lessens allergies & asthma, protects from heart disease
2. Cruciferious Group – broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower
2. Cruciferious Group – broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower
3. Nuts & Seeds – pumpkin seeds, seasame seeds, walnuts
4. Grass Group- corn, oats, rice, wheat
5. Legume Group – soybeans (tofu), green beans & peas One serving of soy each day can keep cancer away! Because soybeans are excellent source of portein, they have been consumed for thousands of years. In East Asia soy forms a significant part of the diet, starting from early childhood. And in Asia, incidence of breast cancer and colon cancer is considerably lower in the West. Vegetarians who consume soybean-based products in place of meat also have lower rates of breast cancer & colon cancer. An exciting study recently showed a 50 percent reduction in breast cancer among women who consumed only a fraction of an ounce of soy protein every day. Among the edible legumes, soybeans contain the highest amounts of saponins. Soya saponins are a diverse family of cancer zaping chemicals, which are structurally similar to the primary chemopreventive ingredient in licorice. Saponins, which are toxic to tumor celss, inhibit DNA synthesis in tumor celss, therby decreasing tumor cell growth.
6. Fruit – citrus fruits & berries Anti-inflammatory, antiallergy, anticancer, antiviral, anti-tumor, antioxident, prevent tumor cell invasion
7. Solanace Group – tomatoes, potatoes
8. Umbelliferious Group – carrots, celery

Yoga Is Powerful “Medicine” for Your Heart
Stretching & breath work of yoga is not only de stressing & revitilizing but also strengthens your heart. Scientific Research has found that just three yoga classes a week can cut episodes of Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)—by half! This is huge news since these abnormal heart rhythms affect roughly 2.2 million Americans.
To get their findings, the researchers compared atrial fibrillation episodes and quality of life among 49 patients. For the first three months, participants engaged in the physical activity of their choice. Then, for the next three months they engaged in a supervised yoga program, which included meditation, breathing exercises, and relaxation. The yoga experience was new to all the participants. The participants wore heart rate monitors to measure their heartbeats throughout the trial—and yoga beat other forms of exercise, cutting episodes of A-fib by 50%! Yoga had a significant impact in helping to control heartbeat and arrhythmia episodes. What’s even more interesting is that the participants found that yoga drastically improved their quality of life, and significantly reduced anxiety and depression.
Plus, yoga—which is something I practice regularly myself—has other benefits as well. It helps you stay flexible and strong, and injury preventing & increases circulation, reduces stress, reduces blood pressure and calms the sympathetic nervous system.
