Nine Cancer Prevention Tips That Might Just Save Your Life

Cancer prevention is better than cure. What are the things to be avoided by persons who are susceptible to cancer? Here are known substances that should be avoided and lifestyles that should be adopted.

Limitations of Conventional Medical Approaches

My wife herself is a victim of cancer and once in a while she had to undergo radiation treatment, surgery and all those conventional medical interventions to keep her healthy (?). We realized after some time that there are many alternatives to fight cancer and those alternatives are more than effective and less intrusive than the conventional ones.

The Importance of Nutrition and Lifestyle

The studies and testimonies that I encountered emphasized the importance of nutrition as well as lifestyle. It is at these aspects where major changes should be made. We stopped radiation treatment because it always weakens her every time she undergoes treatment. Besides, the doctor said the dosage of radiation he gave before was too high. He himself admitted that in a new conference he attended, too much radiation could make the bones brittle, thus, would be detrimental to the patient.

We made radical changes in what we eat and how we live our life. It had been 12 years since we did and she's still as strong as anybody can be (See my previous article Cancer Can be Conquered)

Here are things we avoided and things we did that somehow had some wisdom in it as new research findings affirm through the links I provided.

Things to Do

1. Live A Life of Prayer

   Prayer works wonders we never expect. Believing in one True God can wash away all your worries.

2. Have a Positive Outlook

   We changed our outlook in life and look at it positively. We engaged in fellowships, became more active in church work and studied the bible more and learn from its prescriptions for a better life. This actually changed our life profoundly.
   

3. Eat More Vegetables

   It's better to eat them in raw form. I truly believed what my teachers in my earlier years stressed that we should eat more vegetables to gain more resistance against disease. Vegetables contain a lot of enzymes helpful in properly digesting the food that we eat.

4. Get Lots of Exercise

   If we exercise well enough as regularly as we could, we can avoid toxins building up in our bodies. A highly oxygenated environment prevents cancer cells from growing.

5. Take An Alkaline Diet

   We usually take fish as our main dish and avoided meat (e.g. beef or pork) as much as possible.

Things to Avoid

1. Avoid sugar or alternatives like aspartame

   I have already discussed the harmful effects of aspartame in my previous article How Soft Drinks Can Weaken Your Bones and Make You Age Faster . Sugar is a good source of food for cancer cells.

2. Use less salt in your cooking

   There were studies linking a highly salty diet to cancer of the stomach.

3. Avoid using or totally eliminate monosodium glutamate in your food

   It does not only feed cancer cells but also increase your risk of heart disease. This is commonly used in processed foods (easy to find them on the ingredients as MSG when not spelled out) to heighten taste.
