Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 A cancer prevention diet is one that is high in fiber, low in fat (especially animal fat), minimizes or excludes alcohol and includes generous portions of fresh fruits and vegetables. Just when you thought it was safe to reach for a soda - it's not just the caffeine that can have adverse effects. Soda can also be a contributing factor in osteoporosis. Studies indicate that soft drinks containing phosphoric acid can impair calcium absorption and lead to decreased bone density. Instead of reaching for a pop, opt for a glass of milk or calcium-fortified orange juice. Back feeling sore after exercising? Take our tip to relieve tension. If back muscles become tight and sore after exercise -- a common feeling -- a great way to relieve this stress is to lie on the floor with a tennis ball between your back and the floor and give yourself a massage. (This bothers my back, but a tightly rolled up towel works well also.) Exercise helps reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by strengthening the heart muscle, lowering blood pressure and boosting HDL "good" cholesterol, which is especially heart protective. Regular exercise preserves muscle tissue and builds strength, flexibility and coordination. Exercise, along with proper weight maintenance, also helps prevent Type 2 diabetes. So keep moving! We're not talking about Big Macs; it's the number of people around the world who eat tofu. Tofu is an excellent source of protein and health-supportive soy isoflavones. It's also an excellent starting point for culinary creativity. Tofu comes in a range of densities: silken, soft, firm and extra firm. Firm or extra-firm tofu holds its shape when sliced. Use it for stir-fries, stews and braises. Soft and silken tofu is creamier. When pureed, tofu adds richness to dips and dressings like hummus and baba ghanoush. Smoked pressed tofu is very convenient -- it can be sliced and eaten as is in salads or sandwiches, or cooked in stir-fries and braises, and it comes in several flavors. Look for plain smoked, Thai seasoning, barbecue or lemon-garlic at your supermarket or whole-foods store. (It's good in soups too to add bulk in place of some noodles.) ~This email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Hi, Thank you for sharing this info. I am a cancer survivor who should have been dead 3 years ago. Despite having to go thru the most horrible cheoa and radiation treatment, that, in itself, should have killed me, my diet and metablic nutrition saved my life and this is documented by my cancer doctors. I just wanted to add a little bit to your info. A cancer prevention diet should be completely void of all animal protein, including dairy products, except for maybe a little " high in Omega 3 fatty acids " fish. And, WOW, don't even get me started on sodas, especially colas!!! Did you know that phosphoric acid is actually petrified bat dung? Food (or not!) for thought! Sodas, especially colas, cause extreme acidic conditions in the body. The more acidic a person is, the more unhealthy and likely to develop life threatening, degenerative and autoimmune diseases. Our goal should be to be as alkaline as possible. No disease, not even cancer, can live in a totally alkaline environment. So stay away from the sodas. Even most diet sodas contain Aspartame, a known neurotoxin, as a sweetener. Aspartame damages the neurotransmitters that carry messages to and from the brain. Not worth the risk! Again, thank you for sharing your valuable information to those of us who are always seeking nutritional answers.
