Like in most health situations, with cancer, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That is, because cancer gets more difficult to treat the further developed it becomes, it is important to find ways to avoid reaching later stages. In fact, nearly half of cancer cases in the United States may be preventable.

So what can you do to reduce your risk of developing cancer? (ie: Breast, prostate, colon etc.) There are many nutrition claims that propose eating or avoiding certain foods as a solution—but are these scientifically sound strategies? Yes they are!~

!. Remove processed sugars and packaged food from your diet

2. Drink only water as your source of hydration

3. Stress management through exercise, meditation, breath work etc..

4. DO NOT smoke or consume alcohol.

5. Eat plenty of local organic fruits, veggies, nuts, berries and seeds.

6. Significantly reduce animal meat consumption.

7. Cut down on the amount of time spent in front of electronic devices to reduce EMF exposure.

8. Go out into nature as often as possible away from car emissions.

9. Spend time with family and friends at least once per week.

10. Prepare and or cook meals at home as often as possible.

It all sounds logical, but many struggle with navigating where to begin and to find the motivation and the support to continue.
