This weekend a cousin called me to tell me that she has been recently diagnosised with breast cancer. It seems that in the last couple of months I have heard many family, friends, and patients having to face the barrier of bad news with reports of cancer. The question is do you do nothing about your health until a mysterious delivery of a disease diagnosis shows up on your doorstep or do you look for ways to become healthier today?
Let's first look at what cancer is defined as in medical terminology. Cancer is when a cell begins to have abnormal growth. Our cells experience exposure of up to 10,000 free radical attacks per day. It is when our bodies are unable to destroy and attack these mutations that cancer cells accumulate and can spread. These mutations are heavily regulated by our lifestyle. As much as 60% of cancers are lifestyle related. External or internal signals of stress caused by thoughts, toxins, or traumas activate the protective proteins around the DNA to be disrupted.
Toxin and trauma sources may be easy to understand but for many we haven't evaluated our thoughts or mental health. Take a look at your internal conversations that you have with yourself for 24 hours. Do you find alot of negative self-talk? Some of this negative talk may be programming from fathers, mothers, teachers, and other influences that you had in your life before the age of 7. This rhetoric became ingrained in your subconscious mind. It is now time to work on this self-talk by adding in positive optimistic statements. Statements of affirmation that you are a beautiful, intelligent, successful person. Visualize your ideal day and begin to mentally play out your future as your would like it to be.
If you have a disease such as cancer, visualize your body attatcking the cancer cells and producing a healthy organ and body! Post a picture of a healthy colon, pancreas, breast, heart, or any other organ that may be currently challenged. Also, begin to journal gratitude and forgive any heartfelt situation that has been lingering in your life.
As for the toxin factor of disease please review the top 10 tips for Remaining Healthy During the Holiday Season blog entry on November 16, 2008. Alot of the same tips apply to this topic. Here are a couple of additional things to think about adding or eliminating from your body.
1. Take High Quality Fish or Krill Oil- This allows your body to normalize Omega 3 and Omega 6 ratios. Also be sure to reduce the intake of most processed vegetable oils.
2. Reduce Exposure to Environmental Toxins- such as pesticides, air pollution, household chemical cleaners, and synthetic airfreshners.
3. Eat lots of Fruits and Vegetables- Eat them in the raw form. This provides the needed antioxidant vitamins and minerals.
4. Eliminate Eating Processed Foods-They increase free radicals in the body. For eg. eliminate MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) and aspartame. Aspartame is in the artificial sweetners of Nutrasweet, Equal, and Spoonful.
5. Get Regular Exercise
6. Vitamin D Levels- Get plenty of sunlight exposure.
7. Nervous System checked by a Chiropractor!- The nervous system controls and coordinates all of the sytems in the body. If there is pressure on your nervous system do you think that you will be sicker or healthier? If there is pressure on a nerve that goes to a vital organ such as your pancreas when you have pancreatic cancer would this be a concern?
I ask you , what changes can you make in your health to make it just 1% better today than it was yesterday? Enjoy life as the best version of you and don't settle for anything less than peak perfomance!
