The Best Cancer Prevention Strategies
Let's talk a little bit about cancer. Not about how devastating a disease it is. Not about different treatment options. Let's talk about some of the best strategies for avoiding cancer altogether.
There are those in the natural or alternative world that will tell you that cancer is not really a disease at all. They'll tell you that it is a symptom. A symptom of some imbalance going on inside your body. If everything is balanced, cancer will not be able to exist.
But what is cancer a symptom of? In other words, what conditions inside your body do cancer cells like to live in? First, let's start with your immune system. If your immune system is strong and working well, most cancers simply won't be able to take hold. Second, there's your ph balance. An overly acidic ph level is a good breeding ground for cancer, and a highly alkaline body is one where cancer will not survive. Next, there's oxygen. Cancer cells have lots of trouble surviving in a well oxygenated environment. Then, there's oxidative stress. Free radicals, you've probably heard of them. Diets rich in anti-oxidants will scavenge free radicals and reduce your cancer risks, too.
In short, if your immune system is working to full capacity, your body is in an alkaline state, your blood is full of oxygen and you keep free radicals at bay, you shouldn't get cancer. There are obviously other factors involved, but these four principles are a great foundation for cancer prevention.
Some quick tips to help accomplish these four goals are:
