6 Good Eating Habits to Help Prevent Cancer
According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, excess body weight, even just a little, increases your risk of cancer. However, the study went on to say that staying active and following six rules for good eating can turn the odds back in your favor. To help prevent this dangerous excess body weight, the researches came up with 8 steps, 6 of which are directly related to diet.
These 6 steps are as follows:
- Limit consumption of "energy-dense foods," foods that are high in calories, fat and sugar. Avoid sugary drinks.
- Eat mostly foods of plant origin, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans
- Limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat
- Limit alcoholic drinks to one per day for women, two per day for men
- Limit consumption of salt. Avoid moldy grains or legumes
- Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone, without dietary supplement
Kylea's Comments:
What is encouraging here is the fact that a mainstream medical organization is talking in terms of "prevention" instead of "treatment" and that they are focusing on lifestyle changes.
Keep in mind however, that money is almost always at the core of the mainstream medical community's agenda and there is a lot more money in treatment than prevention. They are so late in the game as to lifestyle changes for prevention that it's tough to take them seriously.
The sixth step is curious in that they suggest that we try and get ALL of our nutritional needs through diet alone, without dietary supplements. Well that would be fantastic and possible too if we were living 150 years ago.
In today's world, it is impossible to eat all the right foods and get everything we need from diet alone. Soil depletion, processed foods, polluted air and water, chemical food additives and more has pretty much made dietary supplementation an absolute must. I would say that taking supplements in a whole-food form is wise, like Kylea's Total Living Drink.
