Cancer Prevention Diets

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 06:53:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , ,

General Dietary Considerations To Prevent Cancers:

1. Eat less total fat and eat the right fats - Approximately 20% or less of your total caloric intake should consist of fats. Look at package labels to make sure the item chosen has less than 20% total fats.

Eat the right fats as the Eskimos do and those in the Mediterranean region. This consideration based upon smaller incidence of cancers in the general population and observation of their diets.

2. Eat less so you stay lean and are not obese. Obesity tends to increase the % of people contracting cancer. Don't overeat anything. Consume moderately and if still hungry space your servings through the day, not at one seating.

3. If a beer drinker then consume less if tend to drink heavily. There does appear to be associated with colorectal cancer due to nitrosamines being a pre-cursor and nitrosamines found in beers.

Jury out on red wines when the quantity PER SEATING exceeds 3, 4 oz. glasses per seating. This is difficult to understand as most warnings on alcohol consumption seem to imply a single "daily consumption" measurement and that single measurement appears to be contradicted by the actual regions who have less cancer. In some cultures, specifically Mediterranean, the daily consumption is greater than what is supposedly carcinogenic, however the amounts consumed are not consumed in one setting. Mediterranean cultures may consume twice the daily consumption that is "dangerous" however it is consumed over a 8 - 11 hour time period. The lunch meal may include 2-3 glasses of wine, as will the night time meal. The spacing between consumption actually may contribute to overall cancer prevention by the alcohol, specifically the phytonutrients found under and in the grape skin.

Most studies do indicate consumption of more than 8 ozs. in one seating, over 1- 3 hours period may be detrimental.

4. Eat a colorful selection of foods, specifically vegetables and fruits. Vegetables per se aren't the best dietary habits. French fries fried in heavy fats, with mashed potatoes covered in gravy, as your "2 veggies" is not the answer. Rather eat colorful foods such as carrots for orange, beets for red, broccoli for green, corn for yellow, or Swiss chard for all of them!! The key is making sure your plate is loaded with color. Colors in veggies denotes differing chemical compounds of which the body can select those it needs and discard those not needed. This natural selection of nutrients is only possible if you are eating the correct foods enabling the selection.

How to Prevent Cancer

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 07:21:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , ,

Do we sit around and wait until cancer or illness knocks on the door and deal with it than, or do we prevent it happening in the first place? From the medical site there's always talk how to cure cancer and illness once you have it. Seldom is there talk how to prevent it. Is the medical profession interested in preventing illness and cancer, or is it primarily only interested in treating illness and cancer when we got it?

Prevention is better than cure!

There would be no doubt in any one's mind that prevention is by far better than cure. To cure any illness we have basically two options: Do we seek conventional or alternative medicine? By using modern - conventional treatment this will be only achieved with drug treatment, chemo, and radiation therapy, none of them without side effects. These treatments are expensive. There are more people employed by the cancer industry than there are patients. Most drugs come with potential side effects being worse than the original symptom and may not have any significant health benefits.

By looking at these options we have to acknowledge that prevention is better than cure. Prevention is not such a big issue. There is no hospitalization required or any medication necessary.

What can we do? First up, being honest to yourself: Is your body telling you something? No doctor or anyone else knows your body better than you. Little symptoms appear, a bit sluggish, no self-esteem, lack of energy, some little pain that comes and goes and we just ignore it.

First thing first: Have a close look at the food you eat. Is it necessary to make some changes? Also look at your exercise and activities. Is your body getting what it needs? Some people say I am on a good supplement that fixes all, not so! You can have the best supplement available on this planet; it would not help to improve your health without correcting all other issues first.

Make lifestyle changes or face health disaster!

How do I change all this? Just a step at the time! It is important to make changes gradually. If you are a big eater start to make your meal size smaller. Most people eat too much and exercise too little. Some of the food is low of nutritional value and not the wholesome food that doesn't contain pesticides and synthetic chemicals.

Over processed foods are the biggest culprit; almost everything that's in a bottle or package is excessive high of fructose, corn syrup, sugars. Every jelly, every juice is like poison in some way and most people don't even know. Read the labels on food packaging, they are not telling all. However, it is a starting point of improvement. Doing this and removing certain items from your every day diet that is unhealthy so diseases such as cancer and other illness wont be able to even get a foothold. Nutrition always plays a large part in the recovery, no matter what illness or disease.

Fermented food as a good choice!

Change to some fermented foods; these are most important for the good friendly bacteria that help growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract. There are many foods to choose from in your health food store or supermarket such as sauerkraut, yoghurt, sourdough bread etc. We all know how good vegetables and fruits are for health. Studies and research of tomatoes has revealed that tomato products can prevent the risk of prostate cancer by almost 70 % because of its lycopene content.

Garlic does not only keep vampires at the distance; it also helps other infections and prevents bacteria forming in the intestines. Garlic has also a big impact on prostate health and lowers the risk of prostate disease.

Also many cancers and illness could be prevented each year by increasing vitamin D levels. Researchers have confirmed over years that prevention and cures the natural way are successful. The days are gone to sit around, waiting until we get cancer or sickness and have our organs carved out.

This space is too short for all the ongoing information added to the long list of healthy diet requirements. Also to find out about supplements how to choose the best one to add to your daily diet. Gain knowledge and find ways in preventing illness before it happens. Just follow the links below, the info is free.

How to Prevent Cancer From Spreading

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 00:07:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , , ,


When cancer is first diagnosed it is classified as primary cancer and nobody has ever died of that. What is serious is secondary cancer and that's when it has shifted to a new location or metastasised as doctors would say. That's why it is important to make sure it doesn't spread to some other part of the body.

How do you do that? All cancers are a result of an immune system that's been weakened and didn't control cancer cells as they appeared. Your immune system is supposed to identify rogue cells and get rid of them. A cancer growth is purely a reminder that you are not living as you are supposed to so common sense should tell you that it's time to correct the reasons why it first appeared.

Of course we are all ignorant as to why cancer has appeared and even our doctors are not interested in the reasons why. But today cancer is well understood and its causes are known. To heal the body all you need is a little knowledge. What you don't need is a toxic treatment that damages the body and causes more problems than you already have. Conventional treatments now days are only making a bad situation worse.

There is only one way to stop cancer from spreading and that is to find the reasons why it appeared and remove those reasons. There is no other way. Everybody has a self-healing body and we know this because when we cut or bruise ourselves, the body will mend it, or if we get an infection it will correct that as well. We all have an immune system and this system is in place to maintain our health. So all you have to do is to use it.

The only thing standing between you and the successful outcome to cancer is your immune system and it needs to be strengthened, not destroyed with toxic treatments. Our three treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy damage this system. Everybody has cancer cells in their body at times and when the immune system is working properly they are held in check. So common sense should tell you to look after this system.

There is seldom a single cause to cancer and for most people the major cause is a lifetime of a diet of processed food including junk food because most this dead food has arrived in our supermarkets via a factory. Other lifestyle changes which are important are some exercise because the cells of the body need oxygen and the most efficient way to get it is through exercise. Oxygen is the natural foe of cancer cells.

Despite what we are told, just removing a growth does not cure cancer and we all know someone who's died following treatment by our mainstream medicine. A much more sensible way is to treat the root cause of the problem.

For someone facing cancer it is your life at stake, not your doctors. So it's up to you to take control of your health. If you can eat food in its natural state and make other simple changes then you can beat cancer.

Symptoms of Throat Cancer

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 05:02:00 / comment : 1 , , , , , , , ,


Throat cancer usually develops on the mucosal surface of the larynx, pharynx or mouth. The most common symptom of throat cancer is the lump or the nodule in the neck. The symptoms for the thyroid cancer vary depending on the type of the thyroid cancer. The thyroid cancers are rare. The different symptoms observed in the throat cancer are…

The throat cancer usually begins with the nose and later spread to all the part of the body. This starts with a lump or nodule in the base of the neck and spread to the lymph node in the neck. If the lump persisted for more than a week then it must be consulted with a specialist. Though all the lumps are not cancer, the lump in the nose is the first stage for a throat cancer. The lump is the main symptom in the case of the thyroid gland cancer. Though the lumps are not painless, they tend to enlarge and result in the throat cancer.   
  
The next noticeable symptom of throat cancer is the change in the voice. The hoarseness or the change in the voice lasting for more than a week must be consulted with the appropriate physician. The change in the voice must be consulted with an otolaryngologist. An otolaryngologist is a specialist in the field of head and neck who can examine for the possibility of the vocal cord or other type of cancer. The examination can be done without much pain. Not all the voice change cause from the cancer. Although the voice change that persists for more than a week must be consulted with an otolaryngologist. 
  


The next type of symptom causes from the tumors that occurs in the nose, throat and in lungs. The tumors may result in bleeding in regions like nose, throat or in mouth. If the bleeding occurs in mouth saliva and if it occurs frequently, then the physician must be consulted to examine the possible reason for the bleeding. 
  
The next type of the symptom is the swallowing problems that arise due to this type of cancer that occur in throat or the esophagus. This makes the swallowing of any solid food difficult and harmful. Even liquid food may be found difficult to swallow in this condition. This condition will cause the food to stick at one point in the mouth and eventually make it either to go in or come out. If the trouble at swallowing the food persists for more than a week, then a physician must be consulted to diagnose the problem. In general a barium swallow x-ray or an esophagoscopy will be done to examine the causes.   
  
The next type is too with the swallowing problem. When there is a constant pain in the ear while swallowing the food, this maybe the sign for the tumor in the throat. Usually this symptom occurs along with any of the other symptoms of the throat cancer. If it occurs with any lump or pain in the throat, then the seriousness of the problem is high. This type of symptom can be examined by an otolaryngologist.
