“HEALTH IS LIKE MONEY, WE NEVER HAVE A TRUE IDEA OF ITS VALUE UNTIL WE LOSE IT!” And sometimes we don’t respect what we have. I discussed the program “How not to get Cancer” TVone Tuesday @ 8.30pm this week & put an article on my page on Monday. But as I said to my clients this week if we (New Zealand) could get more people exercising & eating well we could reduce the risk of being a cancer statistics. 1 in 3 people will get cancer.
Here is what I heard : 😬Daily drinking of a pint of beer or a large glass of wine increases the risk of liver cancer by 20% or bowel cancer by 18% 😬Alcohol can cause 7 different types of cancer. 😬Stress won’t give you cancer but it may drive you towards cancer lifestyle choices 😬Shift workers are more likely to get cancer because of disruptive sleep. Blue light prevents melatonin being made. 😊Screening at the doctors offers us the best chance of avoiding cancer. 😬What is the biggest preventable cause of cancer after smoking? Obesity From Monday’s post here is the calculator to check you BMI - healthy - overweight - obese https://www.heartfoundation.org.nz/wellbeing/bmi-calculator. 😬Up to a 1/3 of all cancer cases are linked to poor diet. 😬Exercise helps prevent at least 13 different types of cancer 😬20% lower risk of cancer if you are fit. 😊Exercise could be the free medicine for cancer prevention. 😬We chose to sit when we could stand. We chose a car when we could walk or bike. 😊Low intensity exercise counts too. 😊Before pharmaceuticals doctors prescribed exercise
So if any of the above relate to your lifestyle; what will you be doing this weekend to change. Or will you just say “NOT ME” & carry on your life? If you have family, children, parents, special friends & you hope to share in their lives, why would you not try to reduce the risks. 👫👭👬👩👩👦👦👩👦👦👩👧👨👦👩👩👦
A healthy fit life will not protect you but it could help prevent some cancers & other illnesses. It will help you if you need medical intervention to recover, or enable medical procedures.
Sometimes we only change when like the quote says “when we lose our health we realise the value of it!” Please ACT now! I can help you if you need advice.
It’s the last week of the burpee’s challenge & everyone has been AMAZING 😉 We’ve completed the last BOX 📦 ON workout & my newsletter which comes out every 1/4 is about to go to the printers. Try one of the great recipes I’ve shared on fb. LOOK 👀 on demand for “how not to get cancer” it’s very interesting. Plan a walk with a friend or family or a bike or something - as I said above just move - any exercise helps! Enjoy your weekend, make the most of every minute! 🧡
