Cancer and Heart Disease Prevention: 5 Easy Shortcuts
Change Your American Lifestyle: Find a Body Mass Index (BMI) chart and calculate your BMI.
For the best health, it should be 23 or less.
If it is greater than 23, begin a weightloss program.
You can achieve this primarily through diet and exercise.
Of course, before beginning a regular exercise program, check with your doctor first.
Aerobic exercise is usually the most effective exercise, in that not only does it burn off significant calories, but it also depresses the appetite.
Other effective lifestyle changes are to find ways to reduce stress, stop smoking, and minimize the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
2.
Replace Unhealthy Foods with Healthy Foods: Our American fast-food diet is setting us up for more rapid aging and degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart attacks, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, and others.
This is due to the increased formation of reactive oxygen species called free radicals generated in the body when eating foods such as meat, dairy products, fried foods, sweets, and fatty foods.
The U.
S.
Department of Agriculture recently released a new food pyramid showing us that we need to replace these unhealthy foods in our diet with raw foods such as fruits and vegetables, nuts, fish, and non-dairy products such as soy milk.
3.
Have Your Body Antioxidant Levels Scanned: Recently, a new type of scanner was released that provides a measure of your body antioxidant levels and a good look at the state of your immune system in cancer prevention, diabetes prevention, and cardiovascular disease prevention.
This scan, done painlessly and quickly in your own home, will give you a working baseline to see how well you are preventing disease.
Then you can make changes in your lifestyle such as diet, weightloss, exercise, supplements, stress, and sleep to see how much your antioxidant levels improve.
4.
Take Dietary Supplements: The USDA and American Medical Association recommend taking vitamin and mineral supplements.
These, in addition to a diet rich in raw foods such as fruits and vegetables, will increase your antioxidant levels and degenerative disease prevention.
There are currently over 354,000 studies linking antioxidant levels and diease protection.
As Dr.
Richard Cutler, MD, Director of Anti-Aging Research of the National Institute of Health (NIH) states, "The amount of antioxidants that you maintain in your body is directly proportional to how long you will live.
" 5.
Take New Groundbreaking Supplements Designed from the Human Genome Project: There is an entirely new class of dietary supplements that target the genes in the human body that are responsible for aging processes.
These engineered products can entirely reverse aging through changing your gene protein expression from an older person to that of a younger person, giving more youthful energy and preventing age-related diseases.
