Necessary Lifestyle Choices for Optimum Health
An anti-cancer lifestyle will include a variety of exercise, organic foods, clean pure water and air. There are a few easy steps to keep the body safe and healthy. It is important to cultivate an awareness of what feels and taste right going into your body. It is equally important to stop and take notice of bad choices. Ask yourself “Is this good or bad for me? “Will it make me feel better or worse?” We all want to feel alive and vital.
Exercise – Yoga
Practicing restorative yoga has shown through studies to encourage and improve sleep and to enhance overall quality of life. (Reuters Health) – About one third of breast cancer survivors experience fatigue that affects their quality of life. A new study

Cancer Prevention Foods – Vegetarian/Vegan Diet
It is suggested to eat a plant base diet of fruits and vegetables: make
your diet rich in organic fruits and vegetables that are full of
micronutrients and bioflavonoids which are duly noted to help prevent
breast cancer or other cancers. Here are some simple choices to select
from to start improving your health.
Water Therapy – Alkaline Water
Alkaline water (referred to as ionized water) can neutralize or decrease the acidity of the body’s pH caused by stress, modern diet, and air pollution. We suggest trying this water and feeling the possible positive effects.
- Find a water store and get alkaline water by the gallon (it usually stays charged with negative ions for up to 48 hours)
- Purchase if possible a home alkaline water system that filters pollutants as well as charging the water with negative ions and anti oxidants
- Benefit from the many ways to use alkaline water like necessary hydration for the body’s cells
Manage Stress – Learn to Breathe
Deep breathing is vital in that it encourages the release of body
toxins, rebuild healthy tissue which consequently increases overall
energy. This true oxygen exchange stimulates digestion, assimilation and
elimination. A very important function of breathing fully and slowly is
that the body’s natural relaxation response is prompted. This
relaxation response results in decreased tension, anxiety and fatigue. A
great place to start is with our single down-loadable breathing
exercises or you could do the following.

Laugh Often – Emotional Balancing
It has been shown that even when manipulated to smile people in truth
feel happier and joyful. Laughter can stop depression right in its
tracks and boosts our immunity. We suggest the following to bring on
happiness.
