If you have a family history of cancer, it is important that you adapt your lifestyle, your diet in particular, to decrease your risk of getting it.

Cut down on fatty foods. Diets high in saturated fats are also high in calories and contribute to obesity. Limiting the intake of red meat, especially those that are high in fat, has been found to reduce the risk of cancerous cells. Always opt for poultry breast, fish and shell fish.

Dieting is a temporary solution to a permanent problem. Lifestyle change, on the other hand, is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Oftentimes omnivores feel threatened by herbivores. But why? Neither one neither the others aren’t better peer see. It is just that herbivores automatically reduce a lot of unnecessary environmental, medical, financial costs and suffering involved.

I almost fainted. There was no family history. I had been eating a vegetarian diet and I exercised.

I lost my father to colon cancer but am happy to say I have several family members who are long time cancer survivors. Everyone needs to be pro-active and know the various warning signs. We still need to find the cures, BUT early detection and research to make detection easier at earlier stages, along with the treatments needs, is still a must. I salute all those winning the battle.
