Using Exercise and a Healthy Diet to Prevent Cancer

March 2, 2012

As a general guide, I suggest you take 1 gram of vitamin C supplements per day. Choose a “timed-release” brand that includes a minimum of 100mg bioflavonoids.

BEST DIETARY SOURCES OF VITAMIN C

Fruits, such as: blackcurrants, papaya, guava, cantaloupe, elderberries, kiwi fruit, mango, oranges, strawberries.

Fruit Juices, such as: cranberry, grapefruit, lemon, orange.

Vegetables, such as: red peppers, green peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, tomatoes.

PROTECTIVE CAROTENOIDS

Carotenoids are pigments found in plants. All carotenoids are antioxidants, the most common example being beta-carotene. It is found in green plants (eg. spinach), as well as orange and yellow plants, such as carrots, sweet potato and melons. Clinical trials indicate that when consumed in foods – not supplements – betacarotene reduces certain precancerous symptoms.

[Warning: for reasons which are still unclear, beta-carotene supplements actually increase the risk of disease (eg. lung cancer). Thus your intake of beta-carotene should come exclusively from food.]

HOW TO INCREASE YOUR INTAKE OF CAROTENOIDS

Use the following suggestions are a guide to minimum dietary requirements.

Eat 4 daily servings of deep green, yellow or red vegetables, including: carrots, sweetcorn, pumpkin, spinach, sweet potato.

Eat 4oz tomatoes daily, either in sauce or chopped.

Eat 3 daily servings of colored fruit, including: melon, oranges, strawberries, mango, cherries.

and in another doubled the chances that smokers would quit.

How it works

The nicotine patch and weight loss drug works through the active ingredient of Rimonabant. Rimonabant works by blocking the CB1 receptor, one of two receptors found in a newly described physiological system called the Endocannabinoid System (EC System), which is thought to play a crucial role in regulating food intake and energy expenditure.

Once these signals are blocked, your cravings are controlled that results in weight loss, improvement of cardiovascular/metabolic risk factors in overweight and obese patients, and appears to reduce tobacco dependence without post-cessation weight gain in people who smoke.

Smoking cessation programs

Combining nicotine patch and weight loss remains in constant study at present. However, research has shown that other nicotine products like nasal spray and inhaler have a higher success rate compared to the nicotine patch.

Regular diet patches

For non-smokers, taking a nicotine patch and weight loss product might be dangerous. So instead of taking a nicotine patch and weight loss product, they should be using a regular diet patch instead.

A regular diet patch works just like a nicotine patch. Just as a nicotine patch suppresses your cravings for cigarettes, a diet patch curbs your cravings for food.

The ingredients of a typical diet patch are as follows:

1. Fucus Vesiculosus – helps increase the body’s metabolism, burn more calories and enhance digestion.

2. Guarana – a stimulant which also helps to increase to the metabolism while keeping energy levels high.

3. 5-HTP – helps control sweet and carbohydrate cravings by controlling serotonin levels in the brain.

4. Zinc Pyruvate – assists in the breakdown of fat cells while helping to build lean muscle mass.

5. DHEA – helps the body to manage the intake of calories more efficiently.

6. Yerba Mate – A powerful appetite suppressant from South America.

7. Lecithin – Helps to breakdown fats and cholesterol and balance body weight

8. Flaxseed Oil – Keeps a balance of essential fatty acids for healthier dieting
