The word 'cancer' is the one word people don't want to hear. It has become so synonymous with death and suffering that it is seldom mentioned or even discussed - unless there is very good reason. This is despite the fact that there have been huge advances in the detection and cure of the disease in recent years.
Professor Martin Wiseman of the World Cancer Research Fund said: 'Cancer is not a fate, it is a matter of risk, and you can adjust those risks by the way you behave'. We should be concentrating not on the emotional issues of cancer, but on its prevention.
The link between behavior and disease is too often forgotten or not recognized. The link between obesity, or being overweight, and cancer is well known. There are no fewer than six cancers that are linked to excess body fat. Despite this, the current obesity epidemic continues unabated.
It is a sobering fact that the 'bill always has to be paid'. One element of the bill that will have to be paid for the current obesity epidemic is a rise in the number of weight related cancers that will surface in the coming years.
There is a very urgent need for all overweight and obese people to lose weight if they are to reduce the likelihood of developing cancer, but what to do? Diets do not deliver permanent weight loss, they deliver short-term weight loss. Most overweight or obese people are caught in a never ending cycle of diets which do nothing to reduce their weight permanently and make them miserable in the process.
Surely there has to be an answer? The answer lies in not going on a diet, but by changing your behavior. If you continue doing the same thing and never make fundamental change you will always remain the same. No diet ever produces change.
Recognizing the bad habits that make you fat is the very first thing that has to happen This is followed by learning new habits, new slim habits.
The important thing to remember is that you can't change your habits because they are hotwired onto your brain. You have to learn new habits. This is the way to make change, to change your behavior. When you learn new slim habits it will help you to change your eating and lifestyle habits so that you can live a slim, healthy, disease free life. - 15438
