The state
of vitality capable of fighting cancer, is characterized
by a strong body of appropriate body fat, relatively low
levels of stored toxins, and the healthy ability to
release old traumas, resulting in a state of lowered
disease risk, heightened immunity, strength, confidence
and clarity. Read the complete article on

As the temperature and humidity rise, outdoor exercise can potentially be
hazardous. Women should shift their exercise time to periods of the day when the
sun is not at its peak, such as early morning or evening. Try loose clothing,
along with a protective hat or sunscreen. Also, pay close attention to the
body's heat-related warning signs. Watch out for increased fatigue, dizziness,
headaches and cramps, and if you notice you're starting to become thirsty,
that's usually a delayed response, so you really need to make sure you hydrate
yourself.

Admit defeat and enjoy success
Most likely, you have a perfectly legitimate reason for not taking action. You
haven't been able to get out and exercise because the weather has been so bad.
You can't get any work done on your marketing plan because the phone keeps
ringing.
So go ahead and give up. Admit defeat. The weather is not going to improve any
time soon. And the phone calls just keep coming. The obstacles that prevent you
from taking action are not going away. Admit defeat. And then find a way
to take action anyway.
Rather than fighting against something that you cannot change, look for ways to
adapt. As long as you're fighting against it, you get a great excuse. But
excuses won't help you accomplish anything. So give up the fight, give up the
excuse. Go ahead and do what needs to be done. Admit defeat, get
it behind you, and then take the actions that will bring you success.

Obesity - Cancer Link Uncovered
Nearly five per cent of all cancers in women aged
50 - 64 were connected to obesity.
The World Cancer Research Fund found a link to obesity
in six types of cancers. Women who were overweight were
four times more likely to develop cancer of the uterine
lining while obesity boosts the risk by six-fold. Obese
women also are at greater risk of breast and colon
cancer. Excess weight also increases mortality from many
cancers, with the strongest association seen for
endometrial cancer; heavy women are 6.25 times more
likely to die from the disease.
Several studies have shown that obese people have high
levels of toxins stored in their fatty tissue. For
example, plastic bottles and containers exude dozens of
chemicals. Many of these chemicals, for example
bisphenol A and phthalates, are xenoestrogens.
