Cancer Prevention Lifestyle

    Every day more people are diagnosed with cancer. Considering the pervasive pollution of the environment and foods we are exposed to, as well as the unabated stress many people endure, it is really not surprising. However, it doesn't occur to most people that there is a lot you can do to prevent cancer, and the cancer prevention lifestyle, which is what you ultimately create when you take everything into account, is really quite pleasant. People who incorporate the awareness of cancer prevention factors in their life are happier, healthier, more purposeful and productive than they have been before.  

    This is not a lifestyle based on fear, it is based on realistically looking at how our bodies have evolved over millennia and accommodating our biological needs, which are not separate from our needs as conscious beings. Chinese medicine originated from Taoist principles which are based on observations of the cycles of nature and the conclusions the ancients on how to live harmoniously with nature in order to become 'immortal'. The immortals did not necessarily live forever, but they enjoyed youthful health, happiness and vigor until the time of their departure from earth. If you have ever observed an aged martial arts master, you have very likely seen an example of one who has lived a life of balance and who demonstrates the health which all of us potentially can create. 

    The cancer prevention lifestyle is not that different from that which has longevity as its ultimate goal. In either case the main modification to the ancient Chinese recommendations is the use of nutritional supplements and 'medical foods' in addition to herbal and dietary recommendations.  I use these mainly because many people find it almost impossible to eat regular meals of strictly organically grown foods, meditate regularly, go to sleep at the right time, exercise properly and avoid stress.
