Easy steps avoiding cancer and heart desease

cancer and heart disease is a malignant disease and come without compromised.

But, if we can prevent it before it comes, of course it would be better right?.

1). Avoid all Talc products including talcum powder(baby powder.) Talc is very similar to asbestos, and has been linked in some studies to ovarian cancer. Talc free baby powder made from cornstarch is available so there's no need to risk it.


2). Completely avoid aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal)!!



3). Eat fatty fish (salmon, herring, sardines) several times a week or buy some flaxseed oil capsules and take them daily. Fish and flaxseed oil are the best 2 sources of ESSENTIAL omega 3 fatty acids. Without Omega 3's, your body malfunctions causing all sorts of problems including high cholesterol & cancer. You can also buy flaxseeds and sprinkle them on your salad. Avoid swordfish and shark though, especially if you are pregnant! Unfortunately they are highly contaminated with mercury and other toxins

4). Use ginger for nausea, stomach aches, motion sickness etc. Ginger is also an excellent anti-inflammatory.

5). Use fresh garlic in recipes as much as possible

6). Try and limit your intake of hydrogenated oils. Health food stores carry products such as corn chips, potato chips, popcorn, peanut butter, etc. that taste just as good as the popular brand name products but are free of hydrogenated oils which are only used to increase shelf life & improve consistency

7). Try not to sleep next to anything that generates electromagnetic fields, including an electric blanket or an alarm clock. They may disrupt your body's natural control systems and sleeping patterns, weakening your immune system and keeping you from getting deep, restfull sleep. It may be a little inconvenient but I'd move that alarm clock away from your head. Besides, I've found that I sleep much better having no idea what time it is when I wake up during the night. If you have to get up at 6 AM and you wake up at 5 AM you may feel "pressure" to fall back asleep as quickly as possible cause you only have an hour of sleep left.

8). Exercise & drink plenty of water(you knew those were coming). So many people are chronically dehydrated, which can exacerbate many conditions. Get yourself a nice portable CD player and try to go on 30-45 minute walks. Take the stairs instead of escalators. There are so many benefits to exercise besides weight loss.
