You already know that regular physical activity helps to control weight, maintain healthy blood sugar, elevate mood and strengthen the immune system. But, there wasn’t much research directly linking exercise with cancer prevention – until a landmark study in 2016.
An eye-opening study at JAMA showed that exercise can decrease the risk of various types of cancer by 20%!
You don’t have to be an elite athlete or marathon runner to benefit. Scientists concluded that we should get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of “vigorous” activity every week.
In other words, a half-hour stroll, five days a week, could produce cancer- preventive benefits. And research suggests the benefits could be even better than we realize!
Getting and staying active is a powerful tool in your arsenal of weapons against cancer. Make exercise as enjoyable as possible, be consistent and you will enjoy the lifelong benefits!

More and more research continually comes out suggesting that we should consume almost twice as much protein as we were told to do in the past. Today, many health experts recommend that we all shoot for 100 grams of protein each day. Doing so is crucial to help maintain and build muscle mass, but also it’s a great way to lose or maintain a healthy weight. So how to we revise our day to make sure we can increase our protein intake?
Here are some tips:
Eat your protein first. Eating protein first a meal can prevent your blood sugar from rising too high after a meal.
Snack on cheese. Choose a lower fat one like mozzarella, parmesan, gouda or a low-fat stringed cheese.
Replace cereal with eggs or oatmeal. Both offer more protein than cereal.
Choose Greek Yogurt . Many Greek yogurts and top with almonds as a bonus.
Have a protein shake for breakfast, lunch or as a snack. A protein shake with milk can add 30 grams easily!
Add cottage cheese to your menu. One cup can contain as much as 23 grams of protein.
Munch on edamame. You can buy it frozen or get it in the salad bar at Whole Foods
Increasing your protein can be super simple. It just takes a little bit of planning!

When cells in our brain grow out of control, they can form a solid mass. Because your brain has many types of cells, it can get many kinds of tumors. Some are cancer, and others aren’t. Some grow quickly, others slowly. But because the brain is our body’s control center, we have to take all of them seriously. In adults, the most common tumors that start in the brain are meningiomas and gliomas. Meningiomas make up more than 35% of all primary brain tumors. They don’t grow from brain tissue itself, but from cells in the brain’s covering. Their non-cancerous location and growth make them serious. The most common cancerous brain tumors are glioblastomas, about one in five. They’re a type of glioma, tumors that start in your glial cells. They spread quickly and are often fatal. There has been a noted increase in people being diagnosed with brain tumors. Technology makes them easier to see, but researchers are also looking into other possible causes, such as things in the environment, cell phones, etc.
BRAIN CANCER RISK FACTORS AND SYMPTOMS
RISK FACTORS
Radiation. Radiation directed at your head to treat another medical condition, like leukemia, can raise your risk for brain cancer.
Age. Adults over age 50
Other Health Issues. A weak immune system, organ transplant, or if brain tumors run in your family.
SYMPTOMS
Early diagnosis is critical. Symptoms depend on the kind of tumor you have and where it is, but you may:
Act in ways you normally wouldn’t
Feel sleepy throughout the day
Find it hard to express yourself, like you can’t find the right words or feel confused
Get bad headaches often, especially in the morning
Have problems seeing, like blurred or doubled vision
Lose your balance easily or have problems walking
Have seizures
It’s usually not clear what puts you at risk for a primary brain tumor — one that starts in your brain. But one known cause is radiation directed at your head to treat another medical condition, like leukemia. In most of these cases, the benefit of radiation outweighs the risk that it might cause cancer in the future.
Your journey is not always going to be smooth. There will be times that you’ll be challenged. You will come across obstacles that perhaps are a little more of a struggle than a previous one. With each one take the time that you need to learn the lesson in order to grow and move forward. Sometimes it’s is a lot smaller than we perceive it to be.

You just might find the lesson to be learned is a lot simpler than what you realized.
Yes, this is all it takes for a load of laundry. I know, it’s pretty impressive. It’s a good thing because I have about a thousand more loads today after being gone for a two week road trip.
Did you know most liquid laundry detergents are full of water? Check your ingredients! Not only will you be unable to pronounce most of them but WATER is usually the first one! That’s just another reason I love this concentrate—I don’t have to pay for the water I already pay for! It’s super affordable for a container that can clean 96-loads, plus the compact size makes it easy to lift and carry. I ordered my detergent today and it will be here in two days! Amazon prime doesn’t hold a candle to this deal.
What makes it special for me is that it contains: • No Chlorine Bleach • No Formaldehyde or Carcinogens • No Phthalates • Biodegradable • No Harsh chemicals • No Fillers
It is so much safer for me, safer for my family and better for us all because it’s all made right here in the USA.
