According to WHO data, an estimated 700,000 people die from colorectal cancer each year. This means that approximately 2000 people die every day.

Colorectal cancer is cancer that grows in the large intestine (colon) or the anus (rectum). Colorectal cancer can be a barrier in the large intestine with some symptoms, such as pain, constipation, difficult defecation, and feeling bloated in the stomach.

The reasons vary, ranging from family history, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, physical inactivity, smoking, obesity, age, until the polyps in the colon (particularly adenomatous polyps or ever had polyps in the colon and colitis disease or inflammation of the colon Ulcerative untreated).

While the biggest cause of colorectal cancer is diet. A diet of modern society that is less fiber (vegetables and fruits), and tend to like to eat red meat, a trigger gene changes in the body become cancerous. What article?

Turn into cancer genes. There are from birth, and there is after carcinogen exposure from food. After exposure to carcinogens from the food, just an interruption in the DNA

Carcinogens, maybe the word is familiar in your ear. Many contain carcinogens berpengawet food, like chili sauce. Carcinogens are also found in red meat. So, beware if you are very fond of eating steak, barbecue, food or other red meat-based.

Carcinogens can grow on the surface of the intestine. Carcinogen is a substance or substances that can change normal cells into cancer.

Frequently eating fried foods increase your risk allegedly contracted cancer, colorectal.

because the cooking oil used is a bulk oil is used repeatedly. So that the quality of fats in the oil is not good for the body. Cooking oil can be used on average only two times usage. Other stories if you use virgin olive oil and canola oil.

Quality oils and fats to stimulate bile acids. If we eat lots of fat, the bile will Irritable bowel and DNA will be disturbed.

To prevent the body from the risk of colorectal cancer, it helps the body get the right intake, healthy, and appropriate. Fiber intake, vitamin D, calcium, and consumption of green tea in moderation, should be considered correct in your diet everyday. Also, try to reduce intake of foods that increase the risk of cancer, such as alcohol, salt, sugar, red meat, and preservatives food.

Tremendous strides have been made in the field of anti-aging medicine, The Wrinkle Cure, in 2000. It was there that I first introduced my inflammation–aging theory, which firmly places chronic, low-grade invisible inflammation at the center of aging, age-related diseases, and a host of degenerative conditions. This theory was often dismissed with either ridicule or skepticism— however, science has now recognized its validity, and inflammation has been overwhelmingly recognized as a serious threat to health and longevity.

As you will learn in this book, we do not need elaborate, expensive, and possibly dangerous pharmaceuticals to halt the inflammatory response and its resultant negative effects. Dr. Perricone’s 7 Secrets to Beauty, Health, and Longevity will give you all of the tools you need, starting with the single most important—the food we eat.

Every day multiple studies are published linking diet to disease. A recent study reported that diets high in saturated fats increase our risk for Alzheimer’s disease, which is an inflammatory disease. Conversely, the anti-inflammatory diet reduces our risk for this debilitating and growing epidemic. Just as important as choosing the right foods is choosing how they are grown and raised. A new study has clearly linked exposure to pesticides with Parkinson’s disease. As I have always emphasized, buy organic and protect yourself and your loved ones from exposure to proven toxic substances.

But it goes even further than the anti-inflammatory foods. We have also made great technological strides in the development of novel nutritional supplements to complement foods and provide the missing links in health and wellness. For the first time, as outlined in this book, we have proven methodologies to revitalize our tired, worn-out bodies at the cellular level and recharge them with increased energy, improved mood, a greater sense of well-being, and renewed purpose.

These targeted supplements are worlds beyond the original vitamins of past generations. Today we can target the key parts of the cells, such as the mitochondria, to restore energy to the cell. As we age, energy levels decline in the cells—in fact, they eventually lose their ability to repair themselves altogether. With the use of a newly discovered class of mitochondrial rejuvenators, we can recharge the cells in all of our organ systems, including the skin, for total body rejuvenation. Being a dermatologist, I find this particularly exciting. Learning how to restore bone structure and muscle mass to the aging face is one of our greatest strategies in maintaining a youthful face.

However, the good news doesn’t stop there. Science has recently learned that brain cells can also be rejuvenated. It was long and widely believed that we were born with a genetically determined brain of fixed size and potential, for better or worse. This is far from the truth. We now know that the brain is a growing and changing organ. As we will learn in this book, we have many strategies to optimize this growth, including the essential fatty acid phosphatidylserine, which is a powerful prevention for memory loss, Alzheimer’s, and dementia. Other fatty acids, such as the omega-3s and fish oils, dramatically improve brain health, mood, attention span, and more.

We will also learn about forms of exercise that will not only deliver powerful anti-aging benefits to the body but will also increase our powers of focus and concentration while restoring physical and mental equilibrium. As you will learn in Dr. Perricone’s 7 Secrets to Beauty, Health, and Longevity, our bodies, minds, and spirits have the potential for tremendous growth, rebirth, and regeneration, given the proper tools. Thank you for accompanying me on this exciting journey.

Breastfeeding does not just have benefits for the baby to be healthier and gives some very useful antibodies. Breastfeeding also helps the mothers stay slim until the next few years.

Researchers find more benefits that can be obtained by a woman who gives milk to her child. A recent study showed that women who breast-feeds can help reduce abdominal fat she owns, even for several decades into the future.

Research results have been reported in the medical conference of the American Heart Association in San Francisco shows, middle-aged women who breastfeed their children consistently have a waist circumference of an average 2.6 inches (6.6 cm) smaller than women who never breast-feeds.

“Fat in the stomach is the most unhealthy spot to store fat for women and breastfeeding can be really useful to eliminate these bad fats,” said Candace McClure, PhD from the University of Pittsburgh, as quoted from MSNNews, Sunday (7 / 3 / 2010).

Recent research shows that women who breastfeed their children have a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Experts have suspected that breastfeeding not only helps spending excess calories, but also help women to get rid of abdominal fat faster. Because excess fat in the abdomen can also be a risk factor for heart disease.

To see the long-term effects, McClure and colleagues analyzed 351 women who joined in the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation Heart.

This study took place since the year 2001-2003. Participants are divided into 29 percent of women who never breast-feeds, 29 percent are not consistent 42 percent of breast-feeding and breast-feeding her child consistently.

It was found that women who never breast-feeds has a 28 percent of excess abdominal fat than women who never breast-feeds. While the non-consistent breast-feeders has a belly fat 2.6 inch (6.6 cm) and larger waist-hip ratio of 4.7 per cent higher than the consistent breastfeeding women.

“This is very interesting, because in addition to making women stay slim, breastfeeding can also protect women from heart disease. But of course it should be supported with a healthy lifestyle throughout their lives,” said Dr. Nieca Goldberg, director of the Women’s Heart Program at New York University Langone Medical Center in New York City.

Therefore, women who breastfeed their children consistently not only does something good for the baby but also for herself.

More than 41 million women in America suffer from heart disease. The number of people with heart disease in women over time, more and continues to grow. Even people with this deadly disease experienced by more women than men.

However, based on tests conducted in the Swedish study, heart disease problems can be overcomed by performing five healthy lifestyle, for an example, non-alcohol, healthy diet, exercise every day, normal weight and not smoking can prove to expel the risk of heart attack.

This method is believed could overcome the problem of heart disease as much as 92 percent. This research has been tested on 24,000 women.

Here’s how health designed to help you reduce the risk of heart disease. Try to start doing a series of healthy patterns for a week, and feel the benefits for the long term:

Day 1: Drinking Green Tea

This potent beverage contains several powerful antioxidants that can reduce cholesterol and even lower blood pressure. To make this healthy drink, prepare 20 ounces of boiling water, put three bags of green tea without caffeine, and let stand for 10 minutes. If visible change color, you can serve it in a teapot. Could also add ice cubes. Enjoy the aroma and taste intensity throughout the day.

Day 2: Consumption of Low-Fat Healthy Foods

To keep your heart health, fat consumption which is recommended not exceeding 30% of calories. And more importantly, avoid using saturated oil and replace it with unsaturated fats that can be obtained from olive oil, nuts, dark chocolate, avocado and polyunsaturated which can be obtained from salmon, flaxseed, and walnuts.

Limit your intake of saturated fat to 7% of total calories (1600 calories to the diet, it was about 12 grams per day). Avoid Trans fats are commonly found in cakes, biscuits, baked goods and other processed foods. Both these fats can increase LDL cholesterol that can clog the arteries, cholesterol.

Day 3: Healthy Cooking

Use a MUFA-rich olive oil in your food preparation whenever possible. Heart healthy fats can lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and raise “good” (HDL). Olive oil rich in antioxidants, which can help reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, like Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Provide always substitute olive oil for butter or margarine on the table, and use it to replace vegetable oils in cooking.

Day 4: Provide adequate rest periods

According to a study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, each additional adult bedtime can reduce the risk of coronary artery calcification, the cause of heart disease, by 33%. When you have less time to sleep, your body releases stress hormones that constrict blood vessels and cause inflammation.

If you regularly feel tired when getting out of bed and always feel sleepy in the daytime, you need to be alert, so you can not sleep. Most adults need 7-8 hours a night to sleep.

Day 5: Consumption of many fiber

Studies show that the more fiber you eat, the less likely you are to have a heart attack. Reduce consumption of wheat bread and cereals that contain wheat, wheat bran. Expand consuming beans, soups, and salads. Within a day, you must consume 25-35 grams of fiber per day.

Day 6: Fish Feast

Meat saturated fats can clog your arteries. On the other hand, fish such as salmon and other fish species believed to be rich in omega-3 fatty acids that will help keep your heart still beat. Eat fish-fisheries that contain omega-3 may reduce the risk of death from heart attack by 52%!

The pancreas is a special gland that is essential in the process of digestion. Without the help of the pancreas, the food that you intake will be used by the body properly. This is because the enzymes secreted by the pancreas are the ones responsible in digesting the fats, the carbohydrates, and proteins into something that can be absorbed by the body. Moreover, the pancreas is also responsible in releasing glucagons as well as insulin to the bloodstream. But once the pancreas was inflamed you must have a pancreatitis diet in order to prevent further damage caused by the inflammation. If you have an acute pancreatitis or you have just recovered from pancreatitis, there are numerous pancreatitis diet you may take so that you no longer have to suffer the attacks from pancreatitis.

Most dieticians recommend vegetables for a pancreatitis diet. You may eat a fresh vegetable or make a vegetable juice that you may drink while you are on your way to the office. This is because vegetables are the richest source of enzymes, vitamins, as well as minerals that are needed in curing pancreatitis. Moreover, plant-based foods also act as antioxidants in the body. Not only that vegetables have positive benefits on the pancreas but in the whole body as well.

A pancreatitis diet must also have foods that are not rich in fats. The fats present in the food will make the pancreas work harder. As a result, there will be more attacks and more pain. Even if you have already recovered from your pancreatitis, you can still have some attacks if you eat fatty foods. So avoid those French fries that have been drenched from oil (even if it is vegetable oil) and try to eat baked potatoes instead. Burgers, even if it is grilled, are still not recommended if you have or you had pancreatitis.

Spicy foods are very mouth-watering especially if you are into it. However, if you have or had acute pancreatitis, you are not allowed to include spicy foods in your pancreatitis diet. Just like the fatty foods, foods that have strong spices can trigger an attack in your pancreas. The same goes for foods and drinks that are gas-forming such as sodas. Coffee and other drinks that have caffeine must be avoided as well.

If you really want to have a pancreatitis diet that works don’t forget to include rice in your meal every time you eat. Salads can also be a good part of your diet if your pancreas is inflamed. You can also eat cereals, oatmeals, and bread during breakfast or snack. Soy-based foods such as crèmes and milk can also be an excellent source of antioxidants which prevents further damage to the already damaged pancreas.

But no matter what pancreatitis diet should you follow, make sure that you will not take it in full meal. An excellent pancreatitis diet must be taken a little at a time. This helps the digestion process flow smoother and lesser work for the pancreas as well.
