Lance Armstrong Survived, R.I.P Steve Jobs
There are as many as 100 types of cancer out there and Steve Jobs contracted one of the rare prostrate ones. We miss him and his absence makes sense to start thinking about what you can do to prevent cancer yourself. Lance Armstrong, Lisa Ray are Cancer Challengers. While there are no guarantees in life, there are four simple ways in which you may be able to reduce your risk.
Eat More Fiber. Plenty of research indicates that fruits and vegetables in diet are able to help protect against cancer. They're loaded with vitamins, minerals, and helpful compounds called phytochemicals - all of which work together to fight disease and keep you healthy. It is the Fiber that flushes out the toxins and keeps your system cancer free. Aim for at least nine servings of fruits and veggies each day!
No Smoking Please. You'll prevent more than just lung cancer! While smoking is believed to cause almost 90 percent of all lung cancer deaths, it may also be involved in cancers of the throat, esophagus, larynx (voice box), kidneys, pancreas, stomach, cervix, and bladder. Plus, if you stop smoking, you'll stop exposing those around you — including your family — to harmful secondhand smoke.
Protect Your Skin. According to the National Cancer Institute, more and more people each year develop melanoma, a form of skin cancer, because they spend more time in the sun. Limit your exposure during the sun's strongest hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), cover yourself with a hat and long sleeves, and slather on the sunscreen – SPF 30 or higher.
Move More. Besides making you feel fantastic and helping you maintain a healthy weight, regular exercise may also fight breast, colon, and other cancers and boost your quality of life! Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week.
Health is Wealth. Small measures like these can protect your family from a lot of pain. No one deserves Cancer.
