Cancer, Cancer Treatment

Hi,
I received this information in the mail and just wanted to share this with you all. I wish there was no such thing as cancer.

You Should Enjoy:

* Cruciferous vegetables: Cabbage family members, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and kale, may lower the risk for colorectal and prostate cancer.

* Lycopene-bearing fruits and vegetables: Tomatoes and fruits with this antioxidant, including apricots, pink grapefruit and watermelon, may cut the risk for cancer of the lung, stomach and perhaps prostate.

* Whole-grain rice, bread, pasta and cereals: A diet high in whole grains and other plant foods may help prevent colon and other cancers.

* Water: Drink at least eight cups of water and other liquids a day to reduce your bladder cancer risk.

Limit Your Intake Of:

* Alcohol: It causes cancers of the mouth, throat, voice box, esophagus, liver and breast. The risk rises sharply for women who exceed one drink a day and men who drink more than two.

* Red and processed meats: They’re linked with higher risk for colon, stomach and advanced prostate cancers.

* Fried foods: Their extra calories can fuel obesity.

Do you feel helpless against the threat of cancer? You’re not alone. Nearly half of Americans say it seems as if almost everything causes cancer, a 2007 survey found. Research shows a healthy lifestyle can cut your lifetime risk for cancer - and raise your odds of surviving if you get it.

Obesity, lack of physical activity and poor nutrition are a factor in about one in three cancer deaths. Only tobacco is a bigger factor.
