This Year I Would Like to Focus on Cancer Prevention

Its seems that more people than ever are suffering with cancer. I continue to see more and more younger people walking around with no hair and/or the chemo ports.
Whenever I go to Stanford with my father, the waits to see the oncologists are very long sometimes 2-4 hours. The Infusion Center seems extremely busy too with people of all ages. It really makes me think about what is going on in our society. Its not just global warming but the goverment trying to take away the quality of our food by approving viruses to be sprayed on meats, approving cloned or radiated meats, outlawing raw milk and butter instead of just focusing on improving quality. Radiation, cloning and viruses are not the answer for a healthier population but there is probably the prospect of big business and corporations making more money.

For my part, I plan to do at least 30 minutes of endurance exercise five times a week. This would make the fat cells smaller thereby making less estrone hormone which are known to overstimulate breast cells. This would help in lowering the risk of breast cancer. Exercise also improves blood cirulation throughout the body. This allows the liver to neutralize and remove excess estrogen.

Getting and staying slim helps in that also decreases the production of estrone hormone which overstimulated the breast cells.

My father's MD has recommended daily 1000 IU of vitamin D. He said that vitamin D is now regarded as a very important anti-cancer vitamin (as well as preventing osteoporosis).

By-the-way, I am still wearing my MBTs. Somebody said the other day that my butt sticks out. Was that a complement? I don't know but I guess its better than having a flat butt. Besides wanting to wear only MBTs all the time cause they are so comfortable, I've noticed an improvement in posture. My thighs and butt muscles do seem firmer. I have not noticed an improvement in my abs yet.
