Cancer is quite active on Abbey's family genes and aside getting hospitalisation and critical illness insurance, Abbey and I seek ways to avoid and prevent it. We liked a facebook page The Truth About Cancer and bit by bit we are learning.
Below are few things:
1. Cancer cells do not love oxygen. No wonder the stressed people are getting more likely to have a chance of getting a cancer. Why? When you are stressed, your body only gives you a short-breath! So inhale-exhale and kill those killer cells. Meditate!
There are some oxygen therapy available that patients can consider other than chemo.
2. Cancer cells are deeply inlove with sugar. Yeah this is not a new thing but more and more studies proves that sugar fuels cancer cells. So take away those high in glucose, specially the processed fruit juices.
3. We need to heighten up our immune system. Take that vitamin C rich food! Drink a hot lemon juice, sprinkle some cayenne pepper and drop of honey. Lemon will give you a vitamin C plus it balances the pH level of our body.
4. 80% of our immune system lies on our large intestine. If we love our immune system, we should worry if we feel bloated and we need to keep an eye on our bowels. Keep that good bacteria healthy living in our gut!
5. Fast! Let your own body eat those bad cells to re-generate new one! It not only benefit you physically, mentally but also spiritually! Do you know that fasting have a religious affiliation too? Pray while you fast and ask what your heart desires.
6. Move.. A Lot! I mean exercise! You perspire, it means toxins will be rushing out from your body. Not only that, when your heart starts pumping, it will increase your oxygen intake! Two birds in one stone!
7. Sun! Get some sunlight! Do not prevent yourself from getting enough Vitamin D!
8. Do not deprive yourself with sleep. Do not think that sleeping is a waste of time. It is the time when your body heals and brain take out toxins.
9. Know your products. Do you know that lotions, hair coloring, facial masks and almost all of what we use are made of toxic products! Give yourself a break! Do not use it everyday! Talking about toxins! Do not smoke!
10. Hydration. Water!
11. Massages and reflexology will unclog the lymphatic system.
Those are the few things we've learned and implementing on our daily lives! For better and healthier us.
