Delicious Tips for Cancer Awareness and Prevention

It’s the end of November and the last two months have been dedicated to Cancer awareness for both women and men. So I am doing my part and sharing with you some of my tips to take your health into your own hands. Whether you have been diagnosed breast or prostate cancer or just working towards preventing, it is important to understand that you are responsible for your own health. You have every power within you to control the things YOU do on a day-to-day basis.  You don’t have complete control over such things as genetics, the environments and other extraneous factors (although some would beg to differ), but how you live your life each day up to you!

If your lifestyle choices are positive and health promoting, then you can only help any situation (wherever you are) to make things better. What you eat, what you wear, put on your body and your thoughts all make a difference!

Of all the things that we don’t have the power to manipulate within our lives, you need to focus on what is tangible and realistic.

Take some these preventive steps today to keep your mind and body healthy!

  10. Be grateful – we all have daily woes that bring us down, but realistically we are incredibly lucky.   Make a list every morning of at least three things you are grateful for.  It can be as simple as being able to breath and having hands to hold your loved ones, to having a roof over your head, to having internet access!  So many things we take for granted, that if we expressed gratitude every day we would be so much happier and healthier!
