the weekend has come again.
just read the saturday papers. this sat's feature is about cancer and some life stories about people who have gotten cancer. some of them are as young as 39! do we even realise that cancer has become rampant only in the current generation?
previously before our generation, no one really got cancer. and based on what my dad says, alot of it is due to what we put into our bodies, esp plastic, preservatives and such? im trying not to eat hot food from plastic containers nowadays. the heat will sorta melt the plastic into the food and you'll be eating plastic.
anw some stuff i found online on cancer:
1. One of the most powerful cancer-promoting food ingredients of all is called sodium nitrate. This is an ingredient that is added to virtually all packaged meat products including hot dogs, pepperoni, ham, lunchmeat and other similar products. You'll also find it in bacon, sausages and most breakfast meats.
2. There are other ingredients that are suspected of causing cancer. These include hydrogenated oils, aspartame, saccharin and artificial colors, to name a few.
3. A diet that is very high in refined carbohydrates has also been clinically shown to increase your odds of being diagnosed with cancer, eg white bread, sweetened breakfast cereals, white fluffy pancakes, candy bars, granola bars, cookies, crackers and sweets of all kinds.
4. Physical exercise. Moving your body helps you prevent cancer. Part of the reason is that body movement moves lymph fluid around, and this is an important function of your immune system that fights cancerous cells. If you refrain from all body movement, you will hamper your body's ability to fight off cancer.
so please people.. take care of your bodies! cut down on artificial foods and bad ingredients and go out and exercise! :)
