Of the many diseases that affect people these days, cancer is among the most feared. But despite a wealth of scientific data, most people remain unaware of how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, as much as 80 percent of all cancers are due to identified factors, and thus are potentially preventable. Thirty percent are due to tobacco use, and as much as 35 percent to 50 percent are due to foods. It is easy to control these and other risk factors.
What Is Cancer?
Cancer begins as a single abnormal cell that begins to multiply out of control. Groups of such cells form tumors and invade healthy tissue, often spreading to other parts of the body. Carcinogens are substances that promote the development of cancerous cells. They may come from foods, from the air, or even from within the body. (Any cell that is Malnourished, will Malfunction)
NOTE:
Did you know that 60-70% of cancers are due to dietary factors? And, that many of these may be prevented by changes in daily dieting habits?
Improper diet is one of the main causes of death and poor health among humans and your way of consuming food affects the risk.
OTHER RISK FACTORS
Research shows that certain risk factors increase the likelihood that a person will develop cancer. The most common risk factors for cancer include: growing older, tobacco use, sunlight exposure, ionizing radiation, exposure to certain chemicals / substances, some viruses and bacteria, certain hormones, a family history of cancer, alcohol use, poor diet, lack of physical activity, or being overweight.
How Fat Affects Cancer Risks
Fat has many effects within the body. It increases hormone production and thus raises breast cancer risks. It also stimulates the production of bile acids which have been linked to colon cancer.
Lifestyle Tips for Cancer Prevention

2. Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day.

CELLULAR NUTRITION
The reason St. Eve Concepts products and services promote health and well-being is that they are based on the principle of Cellular Nutrition. Simply put, when you provide your body's cells with the specific nutrients they need, you enable all of your body's systems to function at their very best. As a result, your metabolism can improve and you are able to lose excess weight more easily. Your mind works better, you feel more balanced emotionally, your skin and hair look healthier and your energy levels will definitely soar.
The full impact of poor nutrition
Unfortunately, many people eat a dismally poor diet of "fast foods" or prepackaged convenience meals that are nutrient-deficient. As a result, their cells do not receive the nutrition they need and a person becomes sluggish. Without the necessary cellular nutrition, this can have a number of unfortunate consequences. For example, if your liver cells lack the nutrients they need, you may not process toxins efficiently and you will feel fatigued. If your nerve cells are undernourished, they may fire more slowly and you will not react as fast to stimuli such as a light turning red or a car stopping in front of you. Or, if your muscle cells lack the nutrition they need, you may find your exercise stamina is not up to par.
Cellular Nutrition provides the body with all the antioxidants along with the supporting B vitamins and antioxidant minerals at optimal levels. This is "preventive medicine" at its best because diseases can be dealt with at its core by preventing oxidative stress from occurring.
Your cells deserve the very best
