Lessen the risk of CANCER

Not all cancers are the same. 1/3 is curable. 1/3 is preventable. 2 factors of cancer that cannot be controlled are AGE & FAMILY HISTORY.


CAUSES OF CANCER


Smoking is very often the main cause of cancer.

It kills us silently and drains money from us quietly. There’re 4,000 harmful chemicals (though in diluted form) in one stick of cigarette. Taking one puff is 600 times worse than inhaling exhaust fumes from vehicles.

Some foods that cause cancer is :

  1. Barbecued Food
  2. Deep Fried Food
  3. Overheating Meat
  4. Food that is high in fat causes our bile to secrete acid that contains a chemical which is a promoter of cancer cells.
  5. Food that contains preservatives, too much salt or nitrates, e.g. canned food, salted egg & veggies, sausages, etc.
  6. Overnight Rice (where Aflatoxin is accumulated)
  7. Food that is low in fibre : Our body needs 25gm of both soluble & insoluble fibre daily. We must drink at least 1.5 litres of plain water a day.
  8. Contaminated Food (e.g. moulded bread causes our body to secrete toxins that may eventually lead to liver cancer in the long run. Never eat bread that is kept in room temperature for more than 2 days especially in a humid weather.)


Types of fat and which is the best?

Highly Recommended for Health :

  1. Olive Oil - It does not absorb in our body.
  2. Fish Oil - Omega 3 (contained in NI’s Circulytes) has poly-unsaturated fat. It’s good for our brain cells.
  3. Peanut Oil - It contains Vitamin E. A small dosage is recommended only.


Not Recommended for Health

  1. Vegetable Fat - Palm oil is worse than coconut oil. It is high in cholesterol and highly unsaturated.
  2. Coconut Oil - It has saturated fat.

Specific Food & Beverages

  1. Egg when eaten too much can cause High Colon Cancer, Risk Ovary Cancer, Prostate Cancer.
  2. Cabbage is highly recommended for health reason.
  3. Tomato is best eaten raw with a bit of olive oil for better absorption. Other alternative is to take tomato sauce.
  4. Coffee is good because it contains 2 anti-oxidants. Inhale coffee aroma for half each day is equivalent to eating 2 oranges a day. However, the residue of over-burned coffee is extremely bad for health. It can cause cancer.
  5. Tea, as long as it is in its original tealeaves and not processed into BOH or Lipton packets, it is good for health. Tea contains 30 anti-oxidants. Recommended dosage is 2-3 cups a day.

Also:

  • No plastic containers in micro
  • No water bottles in freezer.
  • No plastic wrap in microwave...
  • A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
  • Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently,... Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.

He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers...

This especially applies to foods that contain fat.

He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body...

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food... You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons...

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.
Cover food with a paper towel instead.


EXERCISE AND BE FIT

Have a balanced lifestyle. Exercise regularly.

F - Frequency : 3 to 5 times a week.

I - Intensity : Exercise till we sweat and breath deeply.

T - Types of exercises : Find one that suits our age, lifestyle…

HAVE REGULAR CHECK-UP once we reach the age of 45 & above, it is recommended that we go for regular comprehensive health examination. Early detection may save lives.
