The Best Way to Avoid Getting Cancer

The Best Way to Avoid Getting Cancer


The odds are very high that you or someone you know has cancer or has died from it, but I truly believe that we can change this widespread prevalence in the future by getting the word out about the underlying causes, and top preventive strategies, of this devastating disease.



The fact is, there is a lot that you can do right now to significantly impact your cancer risk.



Even the conservative American Cancer Society states that one-third of cancer deaths are linked to poor diet, physical inactivity, and carrying excess weight. So making healthy lifestyle changes is one of the most important ways to protect yourself from cancer.



I've detailed my top cancer prevention strategies many times before, but given that cancer is the top killer of Americans aged 45 to 74, it bears repeating. Please become familiar with this list. Share it with your family and friends and, above all else, start to integrate these choices into your daily life.



Cancer is devastating far too many families and taking many way before their time. It's time to fight back and take control of your health by following the lifestyle changes below.



•Optimize your vitamin D levels. It is estimated that if people around the world optimized their vitamin D levels, cancer deaths could be slashed by 30 percent -- which amounts to 2 million worldwide and 200,000 in the United States -- each year.





To find out the appropriate levels of vitamin D for cancer prevention and treatment, please watch my free one-hour vitamin D lecture.



•Control your insulin levels by limiting your intake of processed foods, fructose, grains and other sugars as much as possible.

•Get appropriate amounts of animal-based omega-3 fats, especially those from krill oil.

•Exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down, and controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks. Be sure you're familiar with Peak 8 exercises, as well, as they're incredibly effective.





Exercise is also an important part of cancer treatment, as Harvard Medical School researchers found patients who exercise moderately -- 3-5 hours a week -- reduce their odds of dying from breast cancer by about half as compared to sedentary women.



•Have effective strategies to address stress by having a tool to permanently erase the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. My particular favorite tool for this purpose, as you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

•Eat according to your nutritional type; this has potent anti-cancer effects. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic, this is in fact one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have. You can now find out your nutritional type for free.

•Eat more fresh vegetables. Only about 24 percent of people eat enough vegetables, so by all means eat as many vegetables as you are comfortable with. Ideally, they should be fresh and organic. You can also consider vegetable juicing.





Keep in mind that if you are a carb nutritional type you may need up to 300 percent more vegetables than a protein nutritional type.



•Maintain an ideal body weight.

•Get enough high-quality sleep.

•Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.

•Boil, poach or steam your foods, rather than frying or charbroiling them. Better yet eat as many of your foods raw as you can.
