How to prevent your self from cancer

[html]One night on TV news, for instance, you might hear
that fish is good for you. The next night, another report
might roar that fish poisons you. Oy vey! Too often, we
feel a great Cloud of Confusion engulfing even the simplest
of nutrition questions. <p> <img

/><p> <font color='green'>Simply following these 10 key
lifestyle recommendations may be the best way of
reducing your risk for many, perhaps most cancers. We also
include special recommendations for cancer survivors and
breastfeeding mothers.</font> <p>That’s why a large recent
review on lifestyle habits and cancer prevention is so
important. It is not based on one
small media-sensationalized study. Rather, this review
has distilled the findings of more than 7,000 studies into
one 517-page statement, and it is supported by the
top health organizations worldwide, including the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
and the World Health Organization <p>Titled “Food,
Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a
Global Perspective” and coordinated by the World Cancer
Research Fund and the American Institute of Cancer
Research, the review is the result of a five-year
examination by a panel of 21 distinguished scientists from
all over the world. <p>They didn’t start from scratch,
either. This is the second edition (the first
edition was published in 1997) of a volume that Dr. Gail
Harrison, UCLA researcher and member of the Institute of
Medicine, calls “the Bible of Nutrition and Cancer.”<p>This
is science. To paraphrase the old E.F. Hutton commercial:
When this WCRF/AICR document talks, people ought to listen.
It is the largest report ever on lifestyle and cancer
prevention. <p>There’s more good news. The report outlines
10 key lifestyle recommendations that offer
powerful means of reducing risk for many, perhaps most
cancers. And those 10 recommendations closely resemble what
you’re already following – the Pritikin Program. <p>So to
optimally prevent cancer, there’s no need to get caught up
in the latest chaos on the nightly news. There’s no need
to wonder if you’re doing the right thing. You are. <p>Below
are the report’s 10 guidelines to prevent cancer: <p> <font
color='blue'>Maintain body weight within the normal range
throughout adulthood.</font> <p>“Maintenance of a healthy
weight throughout life may be one of the most important
ways to protect against cancer,” stated the independent
panel of 21 leading scientists from
institutions worldwide, including the University of
Pennsylvania, University College London, Kyushu University
in Japan, and Harvard School of Public Health. <p> <img

/><p> <font color='blue'>Being as lean as possible within
the normal range from age 21 is optimal to prevent
cancer, but at any time in life, it helps to lose weight if
you’re overweight, stated the panel. Even a 5 to 10%
weight loss can be important.</font> <p>A key message throughout
the 517-page report is that there’s much we can do to
control cancer risk. That’s important to stress. Many people
recognize they have the power to reduce heart
disease risk, but they think of cancer as this big bad ogre
that pounces out of nowhere. <p>That just isn’t so. “Evidence
shows that only a small proportion of cancers are
inherited. Environmental factors are most important and can
be modified,” concluded the international panel
of experts. “Food, nutrition, physical activity, and body
composition play a central role in the prevention
of cancer.” <p>Being as lean as possible within
the normal range from age 21 is optimal for cancer
protection, but at any time in life, it helps to lose weight
if you’re overweight, stated the panel. Even a 5 to 10%
weight loss can be important<p> countinue on part two[/html]

[html]<big>PART TWO</big> <p><font color='blue'>Be physically
active for at least 30 minutes every day.</font> <p>“All
forms of physical activity protect against some cancers as
well as against weight gain,” wrote the WCRF/AICR cancer
report. <p>Optimally, the report advised, aim for moderate
activity, like brisk walking, which essentially means
walking as though you have somewhere to go (and you’re
running a little late). <p>As fitness improves, aim for 60
minutes or more of moderate activity – or for 30 minutes
or more of vigorous physical activity – every day. <p><font

/>color='green'>Avoiding calorie-rich, sugar-rich drinks may
help you prevent cancer. One in every five calories in our
American diet now comes from beverages (all those grand
lattes are adding up), and that’s a big problem.</font>
<p>As you learned at Pritikin, the best way to prevent
weight gain is to steer clear of calorie-dense foods like
fat-rich fast foods as well as dry, processed foods such
as chips and candy bars and even healthier options like
bagels, pretzels, and dried cereals. That’s because all dry,
processed foods pack a lot of calories into very small
packages. It’s shockingly easy to swallow 1,000 to 2,000
calories long before you’ve satisfied your hunger. <p>“Food
supplies that are mainly made up of processed foods, which
often contain substantial amounts of fat or sugar,
tend to be more calorie-dense than food supplies that
include substantial amounts of fresh foods,” concluded the
new cancer report. <p>For a low-calorie-dense diet, fill each
day with water-rich, fiber-rich foods like fruits,
vegetables, beans, hot cereals, and potatoes and other
starchy vegetables. Foods with a lot of water and fiber
usually provide a lot of stomach- satisfying volume, but not a
lot of calories. <p>Avoid calorie-rich, sugar-rich drinks,
too. One in every five calories in our American diet now
comes from beverages (all those grand lattes are adding
up), and that’s a big problem because, as the cancer report
states, “Sugary drinks provide calories but do not seem to
induce satiety or compensatory reduction in
subsequent calorie intake.” <p>Translated: Whether you drink
a diet coke or a regular coke, you’ll likely eat the
same burger and fries. And you’ll get hungry about the same
number of hours later. Regular coke, in short, is simply
adding more calories to your day, which can all too easily add
more pounds on you. <p> <font color='blue'>Eat mostly foods
of plant origin.</font> <p>Advised the international panel of
cancer experts: Eat at least five servings of fruits and
vegetables every day, and eat relatively unprocessed whole
grains and/or legumes (beans) with every meal. “These,
and not foods of animal origin, are the recommended center
for everyday meals.” <p>All these foods contain
“substantial amounts of dietary fiber and a variety
of micronutrients, and are low or relatively low in
calorie density.” <p>One easy way to get a lot of veggies
into your day, as your Pritikin registered dietitians
taught, is to start each lunch and dinner with a big
satisfying salad. We stress “big.” This is one
case where “super sizing” is a very good thing. <p>At salad
bars, start with a big bowl and pile on the greens. Then add
lots of colorful veggies and some lean protein, if you’d
like, like beans, tofu, white meat chicken, or seafood.
Beans are really high in fiber, so they will satisfy your
appetite for a long time.[/html]
