There are so many ways to prevent breast cancer. Exercise is a huge component and balanced female hormones. There are new studies showing That women are 28 percent less likely to die of breast cancer when they have balanced hormones. Women can't sleep and that is a contributor to breast caner. Without sleep, cortisol levels (cortisol is one of your major hormones) won't go down, and also without sleep a woman or man won't produce melatonin. Melatonin is an aromatase inhibitor, crucial in creating hormone balance. Studies have been done and proven successful with patients taking curcumin (made from Turmeric spice), iodine and green tea. Also they take melatonin and drink lots of water and do NOT drink wine or alcohol after dinner in the evening. Extremely important Get a good nights sleep 8 - 9 hrs is what the body requires daily.
Free Radicals - essentially we take in antioxidants to eat up free radicals in our body. Majority of our free radicals are made in the liver and every cell in the body makes them too. Free Radicals we do not want in the body, when we drink a diet soda and chemicals from junk food and most processed food (for example frozen dinners, frozen pizza, processed meats salamni and restaurant foods) this generates a free radical in our body. This is the the start of developing disease, Free Radicals cause disease such as Cancer, Cook with all the spices. Juice your vegetables ( this will help to dextox the free radicals from the body) children do not like vegetables try to juice them make it into a smoothie.

Just another note on Diet Pop studies have been released identifying pregnant mothers drinking diet pop thinking they are doing something good for themselves and their growing baby because there is no sugar in the pop. Actually the baby is taking in every chemical the mother consumes and one of the side effects are: if an infant takes in just six tablespoons of diet soda the chemical alters the childs DNA forever.

Two other studies on Aspartame (chemical in diet pop) came out recently by one of the biggest cancer research institutes in the world, the Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences in Italy. Both studies showed an increase in cancer incidences. When one drinks a diet pop (or chews gum as most chewing gum has aspartame) the aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde and formic acid, the formaldehyde attaches to the DNA causing multiply breaks in the DNA causing cancer induction. Both of these studies showed a dramatic increase in leukemia, breast cancer, brain cancer and lymphoma with aspartame exposure. Previous studies have shown that aspartame produces the very same brain damage that MSG does.

What does a Girl from the Miramichi write about? Recently I have been reading and studing wellness and health for the body. I am so shocked on some of the findings I decided to share with others and generate awareness.

A little history on myself, I was born in Miramichi New Brunswick. Our food source came from our barn, with chickens for the fresh eggs, pigs for pork, fresh fish from the local Miramichi River and moose and deer from the wild. We had vegetable gardens too. So the grocery shopping was limited from the super markets for our family. I never new what a pizza was until I was fourteen years of age.
Today with all the changes in the world most family's get there meats, vegetables and procduce from local super markets. Some of our foods are shipped from other Countries, there is not a lot of options for local fresh food year around and it so much depends where you live in Canada.

Diet Pop

Is not only addictive, but just one diet soda can kill the neurons in your brain within six to eight hours. These chemical literally "excite" the neurons to death, which is why they call them "excitotoxins." Their regular consumption can cause brain damage and cancer, as aspartame increases your cancer risk. If you would like more details on this please send an email.
