- Work broccoli into your PPT meal plan, but steam it rather than microwaving it. Broccoli is a cancer-preventing superfood, one you should eat daily. But take note of this: A Spanish study found that microwaving broccoli destroys 97 percent of the vegetable’s cancer-protective flavonoids. So, we recommend that you steam it or eat it raw. (By the way, broccoli's protein-to-carb ratio works very well into a healthy PPT meal plan.)
- Supplement with vitamin D. More and more, vitamin D has demonstrated to have strong anti-cancer qualities. If you're not spending at least 20 minutes per day getting sunlight, then you'll need more vitamin D supplementation than most. Contact Perfect Personal Training to establish the right amount of supplementation for you.
- Indulge in cantaloupe. Cantaloupe is a great source of carotenoids, which are plant chemicals shown to significantly reduce the risk of cancer. These are carbohydrates that should replace simple sugars in your current meal plan.
- Every time you go to the bathroom, stop by the kitchen or water cooler for a glass of water. A major study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1996 found that men who drank six 8-ounce glasses of water daily cut risk of bladder cancer y 50%. Another study linked the amount of water women drank to their risk of colon cancer, showing heavy water drinkers reducing their risk up to 45 percent! Why aren't you drinking more water?
- Take a multivitamin every morning. Many studies suggest getting the ideal levels of vitamins and minerals improve the immune system and help prevent a variety of cancers.
Add these ideas to your daily regimen for reduced risk, and please feel welcome to comment or call PPT at (877)698-3648 for a more personalized anti-cancer protocol for you and your family.
I would also say - slow down and relax. Many conditions are made worse by stress, and some people even o so far as to say that one's mental state is a major cause of illness. So RELAX!

ReplyDeleteThis may help reduce your risk.
ReplyDeleteIf you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. The risk of various types of cancer — including cancer of the breast, colon, lung, kidney and liver — increases with the amount of alcohol you drink and the length of time you've been drinking regularly.
Maintain a healthy weight and include physical activity in your daily routine:
ReplyDeleteMaintaining a healthy weight may lower the risk of various types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, prostate, lung, colon and kidney. Physical activity counts, too. In addition to helping you control your weight, physical activity on its own may lower the risk of breast cancer and colon cancer.
As a general goal, include at least 30 minutes of physical activity in your daily routine — and if you can do more, even better. Try a fitness class, rediscover a favorite sport or meet a friend for daily brisk walks.
Strawberries and blackberries contain ellagic acid, which is also considered a powerful cancer fighter. And orange juice is high in folate, another key nutrient for combating carcinogens. As the National Cancer Institute tells: "The thought is that when someone has low levels of folate, it's more likely for mutations in DNA to occur."
ReplyDeleteRed meat contains much more fat than poultry and fish, so reducing the amount of red meat in your diet may help to prevent cancer
