In a report put out last week by The President’s Cancer Panel, we’re finally coming to a realization as a nation that what you put into your body has the ultimate affect on how healthy your lifestyle will be.
In 2009, approximately 1.5 million American men, women, and children were diagnosed with cancer, and 562,000 died from the disease. According to the report, a growing body of evidence links what we come into contact with in our environment ultimately determines our risk for cancer.
The study goes on to suggest that in addition to preventative measures, such as doctor visits, self examinations and screenings, we should also be increasing the way we approach a healthy lifestyle. Buy organic foods whenever possible, check radon levels in your home, and microwave food in glass containers rather than plastic.
In other words, its time to step up to the plate, and take charge of the way we look at our health, and the way we currently live our lives.
Instead of being reactive – finding solutions after we’ve been diagnosed with a problem – its time to find the solution first.
As new studies and legislation come forward, use them to make changes in your life.
Avoid using plastics made with bishpenol-A, better known as BPA, found in many beverage and food containers.
Continue with self examinations and screenings, that can find problems early, and help you get the treatment you need before it turns into high risk.
Make chiropractic a part of your regular routine. Chiropractic works on wellness, and works to keep your spine and nerve system in top shape. Because your spine and nerve system are core to your overall health, even a small injury can have big impact on your health. Correcting nerve dysfunction can improve your health, and allow you to get back into life.
