Cancer : 10 Tips for Reducing Risk at You

More than half of cancer-related deaths could be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle: not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, staying active and performing recommended screenings.

Optimize Your Vitamin D Health Rate

To reduce your risk of cancer, it is crucial to ensure an adequate level of vitamin D in your body. This can be accomplished by moderate sun exposure, using a safe tanning cabin, or taking a vitamin D3 supplement if sun exposure is not possible. Ideally, your vitamin D level should be maintained between 50 and 70 ng/ml throughout the year to support the prevention of various diseases, including cancer.

It is important to manage your sun exposure time with caution. A light pink colour on the skin is sufficient to allow your body to synthesize vitamin D; Beyond this point, excess exposure will not contribute to increased vitamin D production and may even damage your skin.

If you choose to take vitamin D orally, make sure you also consume vitamin K2. This vitamin is essential to avoid symptoms of vitamin D poisoning, such as poor calcification, which can lead to problems such as hardening of the arteries.

Avoid Excess Proteins for Your Health

Many of us consume too much protein. It is recommended that you limit your intake to about 1 gram of protein per kilogram of lean body mass, unless you are pregnant or in intensive sport. In general, an adult does not need more than 100 grams of protein per day, and often about 50 grams are enough.

For an average person, this corresponds to a consumption of 35 to 75 grams of protein per day. Pregnant women and athletes may require about 25% more protein. If you reduce your protein intake, make sure to compensate with healthy fats such as avocados, butter, coconut oil, olives, olive oil, nuts and eggs.

Consuming Living Foods for their Exceptional Benefits

Germed seeds are a superfood that is often underestimated. They offer a remarkable nutritional density and are easy to grow at home. I personally started to germinate seeds in glass jars 10 to 15 years ago.

Germs can contain up to 100 times more enzymes than raw fruits and vegetables, thus facilitating the absorption of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids by your body.

Germination also improves protein quality and fibre content in beans, nuts, seeds and cereals. In addition, the content of vitamins and essential fatty acids increases considerably during this process. Sunflower seed and pea shoots, for example, are about 30 times more nutritious than organic vegetables. During germination, minerals such as calcium and magnesium bind to proteins, increasing their bioavailability.

Simplify Your Household Products for a Healthy House

Reducing exposure to environmental toxins is one of the key strategies to prevent cancer, including limiting the use of chemical cleaning products. Internal anti-wetting and deodorizing cleaners, for example, are often associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Among the chemicals to be avoided are:

Synthetic Muscles
Phthalates
1,4-dichlorobenzene
The terpenes
Benzene
Styrene
Phenol
Ethoxylated nonylphenols (NPEs)
Formaldehyde
Petroleum solvents
Cellulose butyl
Triclosan (antibacterial)

For a safer alternative, you can make your own multi-purpose cleaners with natural ingredients. Here are some tips:

Mix baking soda and cider vinegar to clean pipes and bathtubs. You can also sprinkle baking soda, with a few drops of lavender oil or teatree oil, to scour the surfaces of the bathroom or kitchen.
Vinegar, combined with liquid castilla soap, essential oils and water, can be used to clean floors, windows, bathroom and kitchen.
Hydrogen peroxide is a safer alternative to chlorine for disinfecting and bleaching.
Vodka can be used as a disinfectant to remove red wine stains, kill wasps and bees, and refresh upholstery fabrics (spray it in a sprayer and apply it to the fabric).

Opt for Ecological Beauty Products

By revising your lifestyle to make it healthier, it is crucial not to neglect your body care products. Indeed, applying chemicals to your skin can be more problematic than ingesting them, as they bypass the detoxification mechanisms of your liver and penetrate directly into your bloodstream.

Here are some common substances to avoid in your body care products:

Sodium lauryl sulfate (LSS)
Synthetic muscles
Mercury
Parabens
1,4-dioxane
Lead
Phtalates (including dibutyl, dimethyl and diethyl phthalate)
Mineral oil, paraffin and vaseline
Nanoparticles
Antibacterial agents
Hydroquinone
Formaldehyde

For body care, follow this simple rule: if you do not eat the product, do not apply it to your skin. Choose organic certified products (such as those with the USDA seal in the United States) or make your own care.

Some natural alternatives:

100% natural hydrants : Pure emeu oil and coconut oil are excellent alternatives to traditional moisturizing creams. They offer effective hydration and are rich in lauric acid, beneficial to the skin.
Anti-acne 100% natural Apply a drop of oil on the buttons to accelerate healing and prevent scars. Make sure to wash your hands after application.
100% natural deodorant : A simple mixture of water and soap is often sufficient. For additional protection, use baking soda mixed with water for an effective deodorant throughout the day.

Eliminate Anti-stick Kitchen Utensils

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), are used in products such as fat-resistant food packaging and anti-stain fabrics. These substances, although practical, are associated with various health risks. Here are some common products that contain these compounds and that it is preferable to avoid:

Non-stick kitchen utensils Instead, opt for ceramic or glass alternatives.
Microwave Popcorn : Bags may contain PFCs.
Packagings for fatty foods : Avoid paper or cardboard packaging treated to withstand grease.
Clothes treated against stains Prefer untreated clothing.
Flame retardants : These products may contain PFCs.
Moquettes and anti-fouling treatments Choose untreated options for fabrics and carpets.

By choosing untreated alternatives, you reduce your exposure to these potentially harmful chemicals.

Eat Pure Water

If your drinking water is treated with chlorine or chloramines, toxic disinfection by-products (DSPs) may form. These DBPs, resulting from the reaction between disinfectants and natural organic matter, are often more harmful than chlorine itself. Among DBPs, trihalomethanes (THMs) are known carcinogens in animals and can also cause reproductive problems in humans even at low doses.

To minimize your exposure to these contaminants, here are some tips:

Full filtration : Install a home-wide filtration system to effectively remove chlorine, chloramines, DDS and other impurities.
Alternative sources : Use FendaSpring.com to locate pure, chloramine-free drinking water sources.
Additional tips :
- Add orange slices to a water carafe (about 3.5 litres) to neutralize chloramines in 30 minutes.
- Dissolve a 1,000 mg vitamin C tablet in your bath water to neutralize chloramines.

These solutions can help reduce your exposure to toxins in treated water.

Focus on Organic and Local Foods

Many pesticides and weeders are recognized as potentially carcinogenic. You may be exposed to these substances by consuming conventionally grown fruits, vegetables or animal products. Here are some pesticides and weed removers identified by EPA as potentially carcinogenic:

Chlordane
Heptachlor
Tetrachlorvinphos
Carbaryl
Propoxur
Lindane
Dichlorvos
Phosmet
Permethrin

To reduce your exposure, it is advisable to focus on organic products, such as non-chemically grown fruits and vegetables and meat from animals raised on pasture. Animals raised under industrial conditions (CAFO) are often fed with foods containing pesticides, and these toxins accumulate in their meat and fat.

Some fruits and vegetables are particularly exposed to pesticides because of their sensitivity to infestations. Fermented foods can be beneficial because the good bacteria they contain can help detoxify some organophosphorous insecticides.

Avoid Food in Conserve

To reduce your exposure to bisphenol-A (BPA), an endocrine disrupting chemical associated with various health problems, here are 10 practical tips:

Use bottles and glass dishes for your baby.
Focus on glass, ceramic or stainless steel travel mugs plutôt qu’en plastique ou en polystyrène.
Remplacez la vaisselle en plastique par du verre dans votre cuisine.
Évitez le film alimentaire et ne réchauffez jamais des plats couverts de film alimentaire au micro-ondes.
Optez pour des jouets en matières naturelles pour vos enfants, au lieu de plastiques.
Si vous utilisez de la vaisselle en plastique, jetez les éléments anciens et rayés, évitez le lave-vaisselle et les détergents puissants.
Stockez vos aliments et boissons dans des récipients en verre.
Évitez l’eau en bouteille ; filtrez plutôt votre eau avec un système à osmose inverse.
Ne réchauffez pas les aliments dans des récipients en plastique au micro-ondes.
Avant de permettre l’utilisation de ciments dentaires, vérifiez auprès de votre dentiste qu’ils ne contiennent pas de BPA.

Abandonnez Votre Four à Micro-ondes

Le passage des aliments au four à micro-ondes dans des récipients en plastique peut accélérer le transfert de substances chimiques potentiellement cancérigènes et créer des composés radiolytiques dont les effets sur la santé ne sont pas encore bien compris. Les micro-ondes peuvent également générer des effets thermiques violents et des effets athermiques, moins bien compris mais suspectés de causer des dégradations cellulaires et moléculaires.

Voici quelques conseils pour éviter les micro-ondes et mieux gérer vos repas :

Planifiez à l’avance : Sortez vos repas du congélateur le matin ou la veille pour éviter une décongélation de dernière minute.
Préparez des plats en grandes quantités : Faites des soupes et des plats mijotés, puis congelez-les en portions. Décongelez-les dans l’évier avec de l’eau avant de les réchauffer sur la cuisinière.
Utilisez un mini-four grill : Réglez-le à basse température (90-120°C) pour réchauffer doucement vos aliments en 20 à 30 minutes. Un four à convection est également une bonne alternative.
Cuisinez à l’avance : Préparez des repas en avance pour les jours où vous êtes trop occupé ou fatigué pour cuisiner.
Privilégiez les aliments bio et crus : Consommer plus d’aliments bio et crus est bénéfique pour votre santé à long terme.
