Introduction

I’ve seen cancer affect my family. I’ve seen cancer affect my friends’ families. In fact, I’ve seen cancer affect several thousand students holding candles at a Relay for Life. I have created this book to help stop this cycle of tragedy. After working for the Breast Health and Healing Foundation, I have learned that the only way to really stop this cycle is to prevent cancer from striking us in the first place. By changing basic lifestyle factors and keeping vital research going, we can make headway in preventing this disease.

By buying this e-book, you have already done a great service to humanity. All proceeds from the sales of this e-book will be going straight to the Breast Health and Healing Foundation. At the Breast Health and Healing Foundation, 90% of all donations go directly to funding research on the human mammary tumor virus, the first preventative breast cancer vaccine, and the pursuit of teaching preventative methods to women around the country.  The rest is used to offset administrative costs at a foundation determined to find the causes of breast cancer in order to prevent it.

Cancer is a huge challenge that humanity faces. I can’t say that changing lifestyle factors will completely stop the spread of cancer, but it will go a long way. I hope that this book provides useful information for avoiding the same tragedies that have befallen so many others.

These numbers are atrocious. Approximately 40,000 people die from breast cancer in the United States every single year. The number of annual breast cancer deaths worldwide extends over 460,000. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers found in women. By modifying our risk factors such as eating right, exercising, and avoiding cigarettes, we can reduce these numbers tremendously.

I’ve seen first-hand how much trouble carcinogens, an inactive lifestyle, or fatty foods cause. Many people do not believe it will happen to them, but once they reach a certain age, all of the poisons consumed will hurt their body. Sometimes it even costs people their life.

If you would like to live a life without illness, following the advice of this book will help you achieve this goal. Besides being healthy, you will also gain greater happiness and mental well-being.

So why not eliminate cancer? Let’s fight for the pure cure: cancer prevention!

Chapter 1: Nutrition

The Health Benefits of a Grapefruit

Why is it that most healthy diets include eating a grapefruit for breakfast?  One reason is its high amount of fiber.  An orange has seven grams of fiber while a banana has four.  And a grapefruit? It has twelve grams of fiber.  The fiber contained in a grapefruit helps in food digestion, reduces ones risk for colon cancer and lowers cholesterol levels.  Grapefruits also have plenty of vitamin C, which heals wounds, repairs cartilage or bones, and even protects us from cardiovascular disease and cancer!  Grapefruits also contain pectin, vitamin A, and potassium.  Pectin removes plaque in the blood vessels, which reduces cholesterol.  Vitamin A is a necessity for your eye health.  Potassium helps your neurological health and keeps your cells functioning properly.

Grapefruits have a low amount of fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol.  It is a fruit that reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease; it’s good for your heart!  This particular fruit removes excess inorganic calcium found in the cartilage of our joints.  Such excess calcium leads to arthritis.  This fruit can even help improve your health during a cold or fever.

Obesity is definitely something to avoid when attempting to prevent breast cancer.  Luckily, the grapefruit can help in weight loss as it is low in sodium and high in enzymes that burn fat.  It also has a good amount of water, which increases metabolism.

Most importantly, the grapefruit has antioxidants with cancer-fighting properties.  It is high in lycopene and liminoids, substances that prevent tumor formation.  Lycopene is a carotenoid or the red-colored substance found in grapefruits.  The grapefruit is also capable of repairing damaged DNA in prostate cancer cells.  Grapefruits boost the immune system, which is so great when it comes to preventing cancer.  Clearly, this fruit needs to be added to everyone’s diet!

The One Vegetable Kids Hate but Parents Love

[I’ll show you how to get kids to love it too!]

What’s the one vegetable children hate and parents always put on their plate?  That’s right! Broccoli.  Parents always know what’s good for their children.  Some health benefits that broccoli has is its high levels of vitamin C.  This vitamin allows for iron absorption within the body, which is necessary for our red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body.  Vitamin C also alleviates the symptoms of the common cold.

If you’re having problems with an elevated blood pressure, the potassium found in broccoli will relieve that.  The calcium found in broccoli fights osteoporosis.  This veggie has plenty of fiber, which aids the gastrointestinal tract and lowers blood cholesterol.  This vegetable also has lots of folic acid, which helps us have normal tissue growth.

And guess what else broccoli has? Indole-3-carbinol.  This substance helps prevent the formation of hormone-related cancers.  And, you may ask, what sort of cancer is related to our hormones?  Well, breast cancer of course!  Higher exposure to the hormones estrogen and progesterone increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer.  Indole-3-carbinol promotes the functioning of good hormones while fighting against the ones with negative consequences.

Additionally, broccoli has sulforaphane, which increase the level of enzymes that stop cancer from forming.  The beta-carotene within broccoli transforms into vitamin A when absorbed by the body.  Vitamin A is a very beneficial antioxidant.  The excellent properties found
