I was surfing, and got a small article on Prevention of Cancer, here i am sharing it with you .. !
There is No Cure Yet, but Can Cancer Be Prevented?
The hopeful news is cancer is a preventable disease. It can be avoided through not smoking, eating healthful foods, and exercising regularly, according to a sweeping study by Harvard School of Public Health. Researchers at Harvard evaluated the entire body of research about cancer's causes and discovered the largest contributing factors to cancer involve lifestyle choices. Nearly 70% of all cancer deaths can be attributed to smoking, eating and drinking habits, or a "sedentary lifestyle."The cancer prevention plan: Eat whole foods including "5 (or more) fruits and vegetables a day," and eliminate or significantly reduce animal protein, animal fats, hydrogenated fats, processed foods containing additives, preservatives, or pesticides. Daily aerobic exercise and stretching increases circulation and helps the body eliminate toxins stored in our tissues. For individuals whose lifestyles have included smoking, excessive drinking, poor diets, and sedentariness, extra efforts may need to be taken to restore the body to its fullest health. However the benefits of lifestyle and dietary changes can begin today.
Foods high in chlorophyll, vitamin A, vitamin E, selenium and vitamin C will significantly increase elimination of toxins and free radicals known to cause cellular changes that are the root of cancer and other degenerative diseases. Furthermore, the addition of acidophilus and bifidus is associated with improved immune function by rebalancing the natural intestinal bacteria. New research regarding an coenzyme called CoQ10 may yield further important knowledge about how the body naturally defends itself against cellular changes that eventually result in cancer.
Fifty years after the "war on cancer" was declared, there is no cure. But cancer prevention and recovery strategies through diet, exercise, and spiritual connection are rapidly becoming evident.
Part of the above info is taken from an article in the Boston Globe, November 1996.
