YOUR CANCER PREVENTION PLAN

Do you know someone with cancer? We'll bet that you do. We'll bet that you do because cancer strikes 3 out of every 4 families in the United States and kills about 500,000 men and women every year.
  
       Most cancer victims die from cancer of the lung, breast, colon, or prostate. Breast cancer deaths have held steady over the past 30 years, but prostate cancer deaths have increased 9 percent, colon cancer deaths have increased 22 percent in men, and lung cancer deaths have increased a chocking 161 percent in men and horrifying 396 percent in women.
  
      Those increases make cancer the nation's second most common cause of death. But what's causing this epidemic of  neoplasmic proliferation?


cancer smoke, smoking injuries, smoking diseases

      Most of the time it's things we do to ourselves. We take a 3-inch paper-covered cylinder out of a pack, put one end in our mouths, and set the other end on fire--even when we know that 83 percent of all lung cancer is caused by smoking cigarettes.

burger diseases, burger.

Or we pull up to a fast-food drive-in, order a bacon double cheeseburger, large fries, and jumbo milkshake--even when we know that the risk of dying from breast cancer increases 40 percent for every extra 1,000 grams of fat we eat a month. 


Or maybe for breakfast we eat the cute little even when we know that a low-fiver diet is a significant factor in the development of colon cancer.

CELERY / CHEESE


Those crunchy green stalks are the mainstay of dieters everywhere. When you consider it's only 6 calories a stalk, celery is a good source of cancer-fighting vitamin A and blood pressure-controlling potassium. It also contains a modest amount of bone-building calcium. What it doesn't contain is any fat. When you think of it, that's a lot of first-rate action for such a second-class food.

Cheese is the catch-22 of  foods. It's chock-full of nutrients:plenty of bone-protecting calcium, lots of stress-fighting B vitamins and cancer-protecting vitamin A. But it's also full of fat, and mostly the saturated variety. The way around it, however, is to eat only the low-fat, low-salt varieties. And eat it sparingly--a I-ounce helping is plenty. The lighter in color and softer in texture, the less fat. Your best bet : dry curd cottage cheese.

CASABA MELONS / AND / CAULIFLOWER

Even a single slice of the casaba melon is a plentiful source of potassium and vitamin C,a combination that helps prevent stroke and keep blood pressure down.And at 43 calories a slice -45 for a whole cup of cubed fruit - Casaba is a weapon on the war on the obesity.



Cauliflower is low enough in fat and sodium and punched with enough potassium and fiber to make it good choice for those who trying to control blood pressure and prevent a stroke. But everyone should eat it because of its cancer fighting potential. Cauliflower is a member of calciferous (Cabbage) family of vegetables, which studies have shown contain cancer preventive qualities
