Effective Ways to Fight Cancer

By: Peter Rostowski

Even with all our progress in medical science and technology, we still do not know much about cancer. It is difficult to treat unless caught in the early stages. We know how it happens. A genetic mutation in a cell's DNA causes it to reproduce out of control. But the mystery is why it happens and why some organs in some people and not others? We do know that our lifestyle has a great influence on whether this happens. You should actually know that very few cancers are actually inherited. Let's explore some of the most effective and easy ways to fight cancer and be a winner.

You can reduce the risk of developing cancer. Smoking and regular heavy drinking should be avoided. Eating fruits and vegetables that have high antioxidant content help in preventing cancer. Any other habits that improve your overall health and boost you immune system is recommended. And of course you should pay great attention to regular exercises. A good immune system and good health helps in fighting or preventing cancer.

Food

Eat wide from many sources for a balanced diet. Include nuts, herbs, lentils and fresh, organic, locally grown produce. Increase your daily intake of fruit and vegetables. These are thought to help protect against cancer of the bowel, cervix and possibly breast. Eating plenty of grain cereals also increases the effect against colon cancer. Throw your microwave away. The latest scientific tests show that food you prepare in microwave is exposed to a high risk of providing cancer cells in your body. Avoid factory farmed products such as milk, eggs, fish or cheese. Animals are often fed large amounts of antibiotics as a precaution and live in very stressful conditions. Avoid genetically modified food.

Habits

Do not smoke. If you do, try to stop. It is all about will. Do not smoke in front of other people. Lung cancer is the third most common cancer among women and the most common cancer suffered by men. Drink sensibly. Too much alcohol can cause stomach and other cancers. It is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, the most common women's cancer. Pregnant women are advised to stop drinking alcohol altogether. Men should drink no more than 21 units of alcohol each week. A unit of alcohol is equal to half a pint of normal strength beer or a small glass of wine. In other words, simply get rid of your dirty habits.

Exercise

If you can keep a steady exercise plan you will be able to help boost your immune system and fight cancer a lot better. A few examples include jogging, power walking and swimming. However, I recommend going not into sports only, but try to find your niche in some martial arts community, a place that can provide much more then simple physical activity. Do not compete with others, compete with yourself. Train your body mind and spirit. Try to keep your heart as healthy and strong as possible to increase your chance to beat cancer.

Attitude

Reduce your daily stress and stay calm. Try to avoid every possible conflict. Do not quarrel. Do not swear. Set time aside to think about your health at physical, intellectual, emotional and energetic levels. Try to provide as much positive emotions as possible in your and your family's daily life. Try to understand positive thinking. Get rid of negative thoughts. Make other smile and smile all together.

Cancer might be one of the largest health problems in the world today, but nevertheless you should not give and up continue digging out information on alternative medicine and things you can do to fight it. Inform yourself about your medical condition and explore alternatives if you are prescribed medical drugs. All medical drugs have side effects. Help others by helping yourself.
