Medical Info: CANCER

Please note the following:

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:

1.  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.

2. Some foods that cause cancer are:

a. Barbecued Food

b. Deep Fried Food

c. Overheating Meat

d. Food that is high  in fat causes our bile to secrete acid that contains a
chemical which  is a promoter of cancer cells.

e. Food that contains preservatives, too much salt or nitrates, e.g.
canned food, salted egg & veggies, sausages, etc.

f. Overnight Rice (where Aflatoxin is  accumulated)

g. Food that is low in fiber: Our body needs 25gm of both soluble &
insoluble fiber daily. We must drink at least 1.5 litres of plain water a
day.

h. 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.)

3. Types of fat and which is the best?

Highly Recommended for Health:

a. Olive Oil - It does not absorb in our body.

b. Flexseed oil- Omega 3 (contained in NI's Circulytes) has
poly-unsaturated fat. It's good for our brain cells.

c. Peanut Oil - It contains Vitamin E. A small dosage is recommended only.

4. Not Recommended for Health

a.  Vegetable Fat - Palm oil is worse than coconut oil. It is high in
cholesterol and highly unsaturated.

b. Coconut Oil - It has saturated fat.

5. Specific Food & Beverages

a. Egg when eaten too much can cause High Colon Cancer, Risk Ovary Cancer,
Prostate Cancer.

b. Cabbage is highly recommended for health reason.

c. Tomato is best eaten raw with a bit of olive oil for better absorption.
Other alternative is to take tomato sauce.

d. 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.

e. 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 cups a day.

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 breathe 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. (Especially female's breast cancer)
