Anti-cancer food items contain a few active ingredients that have been proven in lab-studies to directly destroy cancer-cells. But their beneficial effect is not limited to this. They contain many other substances that support the body’s own mechanisms to arrest the growth and multiplication of cancer-cells as well as prevent their invasion of surrounding tissues.
Here are 6 cancer-fighting foods and drinks you can include in your diet:
1.Green Tea
Antioxidant compounds called catechins occur in green-tea and are highly effective in mopping-up free radicals. They do this by combining with the free radicals and deactivating them. This process effectively reduces the risk of cancer.
The free radicals have the potential to damage the DNA of cells. Cells with damaged DNA can multiply in an abnormal way, and become the starting point of various types of cancers.

2.Broccoli
Research shows that eating broccoli and other cabbage family vegetables like, Brussels-sprouts, rapine, kale and collard greens lowers the risk of several types of cancers including prostate, breast, stomach, and colorectal cancers. Almost all cruciferous vegetables contain vitamin-C and the dark-colored ones like kale and collard-greens are good sources of vitamin-K.
They break down in the body to produce anti-inflammatory agents called indoles and isothiocyanates which have an inhibitory action on the enzymes that initiate cancer.

3.Red Grapes & Grape Juice
Grapes contain resveratrol, a polyphenol known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that offer cancer protection. The red and purple varieties are particularly high in resveratrol, so is red-wine. However, since alcohol consumption is implicated in many cancers of the mouth, esophagus, colon and rectum as well as breast-cancer in women, red-wine is no candidate for an anti-cancer diet. Resveratrol has been shown to have a beneficial effect on prostate and breast-cancers in mice as well as cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.
Since this polyphenol is concentrated in the skin of the grapes, freshly prepared juice of organically grown red-grapes would offer maximum benefit.

4.Blueberries

High Vitamin-C content as well as the presence of ellagitannins in blueberries may be contributing to the cancer-protective effect.
Ellagitannins get converted into ellagic acid and then into urolithins. These compounds protect DNA from free-radical damage that is the starting point of many cancers. Blueberries contain a substance called Pterostilbene which is related to the resveratrol in red-grapes. It has been found to cause self destruction of abnormal-cells in the stomach, pancreas and lung tissue.
5.Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate has been linked with heart-health, but it may even help prevent certain types of cancers. Lab-studies have shown that the catechins, polyphenols and proanthocyanidins in pure chocolate may prevent the formation of tumors and retard the growth and proliferation of cancers.
Although eating some dark chocolate may offer cancer protection, many types contain sugar that may not be all that great to have on a daily basis. Be sure that you purchase dark-chocolate with at-leat 80% cacao.

6.Kombucha Tea
This fermented drink is made from slightly sweetened black-tea through the action of yeast and bacteria colonies that thrive in the starter. Russian scientists noticed that large areas of the country where people traditionally drank Kombucha tea were generally free of cancer. After further studies, the drink was confirmed to be having a powerful detoxification effect on the liver that afforded protection against several types of cancer.

Have you already tried all the existing diets including no-carb, fat-free, and low-protein ones? If you’ve followed a diet with no solid food or tried to count the calories of every meal and yet somehow all of your attempts to lose weight haven’t been successful by now, you may realize that something’s wrong with all of these techniques.
Here are the most common mistakes we make when we want to lose-weight.

1.You're Not Getting Enough Sleep
Lack of sleep can contribute to weight-gain. One study found that women who slept 5-hours a night were more likely to gain weight than women who slept 7-hours a night.
• Losing sleep may make you feel hungry, even when you're not.
• Sleep deprivation can affect the secretion of cortisol, one of the hormones that regulates appetite.
• When you're tired, you may skip exercise or simply move around less, which means burning fewer calories.
• Getting enough sleep is crucial if you're trying to lose weight, not just because of how it affects you physically, but mentally as well. Sleep deprivation makes you cranky, confused, and can even make you feel depressed or angry.
2.You're Too Stressed Out
Stress and weight gain, or lack of weight-loss go hand in hand. Though you may not be aware of it, being under constant stress has the following consequences:
• Like sleep deprivation, too much stress increases the production of cortisol. Not only does this increase appetite, it can also cause extra fat storage around the abs.
• Cravings for foods that are high in sugar and fat, comfort foods to make us feel better.
3.Your digestion and absorption is not optimal.
• You are not what you eat; you are what you digest and absorb! Our gut health will determine our overall wellbeing. The bacteria that lies in our gut helps us to fight disease, process our food, make nutrients and make hormones etc.
4.You're eating out too much and not cooking at home.
• Trust me, you just don’t know what that restaurant is using to cook your food. Assume they're using the worst vegetable oils, heavy amounts of butter and oil, and poor-quality produce. Unless you're dining at a place that claims healthy cooking and uses healthy produce, learn to love your kitchen!

5.Your hormones aren't balanced.
If you are fatigued, experience irregular menstrual cycles, find it hard to lose weight, feel depressed or anxious, you may have a hormonal imbalance. Best to see a nutritionist or doctor who can support you and suggest certain tests that will confirm this so you can take appropriate action.
6.You're scared of good fats.
Don't be! Good fats are so so important to your brain and for making hormones. (So you can imagine why many of those who suffer from hormonal imbalances usually eat a low-fat diet) and your heart. The body actually uses the good fats and they will help to lower your LDL cholesterol.
7.Your liver is sluggish and you need a good cleanse!
If you're feeling low, tired, and moody and your diet contains alcohol, coffee and sugar, you need to give your body a break. When your liver is sluggish, it struggles to process substances/toxins/hormones efficiently and this leads to toxic build-up and this will inevitably cause weight-gain. You might benefit from a seasonal liver cleanse.

Scientists continue to discover amazing features of our DNA, helping us understand how we can live longer.
Here are the most important ideas from recent scientific research about how to live-longer and happier life.

1.Eat what’s good at home
Eating homemade food is an often understated benefit that is mentioned time and again around the internet but to little or no avail. We may have the belittling audacity to brush it off like that, but the countless benefits that this habit brings is undeniable. In this day and age knowing what goes into your own food as an ingredient is a blessing and one that can not be understated in any-way.

2.Substitute your coffee with green tea
It is a little known fact but coffee has for many years been doubted as a silent killer due to its tendency to up your blood pressure needlessly with its caffeine content. Compounded with the fact that blood pressure and resultant heart-attacks are the main cause of death in the latter half of life, it is needless to say that letting off the coffee steam is the way to go. Have some green-tea instead. It will cleanse your bloodstream and make you healthier!

3.Eat lean protein
Fish and chicken are amongst the white meat substitutes that are the way forth as red-meat can increase the risk of several cancers. So eat up on the pulses and white meat and notice how your body has its share of muscle growth while having clean mass and none of the side effects!

4.Sleep for at-least 6 hours a day
Sleeping properly is the most effective way of recharging both your mind and body, while simultaneously stabilizing your central nervous-system. Not only will this make you a healthier person, but you will also be more effective in achieving all your goals on account of being healthy and well rested.

5.Exercise regularly
It is no secret that exercising regularly leads to better health and thus, a longer life. However, the extent as to which exercise can impact our life is immense. Indulging in 150 minutes of sports every week can boost your life expectancy by as much as 5 years!

6.Make love
Here’s some good news for all the couples out there. In case you needed another reason to get intimate with your partner, engaging in the act of making love for at least 3-times a week can increase your lifespan. Making love does not only act as a way of strengthening emotional bonds with your partner, but it also regulates hormonal imbalances while simultaneously making your heart and nervous-system stronger. Not only that but it makes for a great way to sneak some much needed cardio in your daily routine!

7.Get furry cuddle buddy
At one point or another, we have all begged our parents to let us keep a pet. Now that we don’t need any permission, feel free to adopt whichever fluffy cutie strikes your fancy. If anyone tried to stop you, just remind them that having a pet can increase your life expectancy by 3 to 5 years.
No matter what pet you choose, one thing is for sure, the fear of leaving someone so cute behind will make you want to stick around for as long as you possibly can.

Found in medicine cabinets throughout the country for more than 150 years, petroleum jelly is a topical ointment used to treat everything from dry skin to nose bleeds to chest colds.
Originally packaged and sold as a cure-all, scientific studies on petroleum-jelly have revealed that it really doesn’t measure up to the hype. Here are 3-reasons to stop using petroleum jelly on your skin – and 3 natural products you should use instead.
1.It’s Derived from Fossil Fuels
The crude version of petroleum was first discovered in 1859 on an oil rig. A paraffin-like substance, this thick and dark gunk would collect on pump joints during the oil extraction process. It needed to be scraped away from time to time to prevent the rig from malfunctioning. Some workers – who dubbed it “rod wax” – found it helped heal cuts and burns.
Though still a byproduct of oil, the petroleum-jelly of today is distilled and rendered into a colorless, odorless gel. Use of petroleum jelly not only means you are slathering a petroleum byproduct on your skin, it also inadvertently supports the ecological and environmental devastation caused by oil drilling and the burning of fossil fuels.
2.Petroleum Jelly May Be Carcinogenic
Petroleum-jelly is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons – a group of organic compounds made-up of hydrogen and carbon. Though it is technically a natural substance, not all products derived from nature are healthy. The makers of petroleum-jelly, claim that their product is refined, purified, and free of cancer-causing compounds. While the EU requires a full history of the refining process of petroleum-jelly, along with proof the product is not a carcinogen, the US has no such regulatory requirement.

3.Petroleum Jelly Doesn’t Nourish the Skin
Although petroleum-jelly has been used in households for over a century to treat dry-skin, it doesn’t contain any medicinal or healing properties.
If the skin isn’t cleaned and moisturized first, slathering on some petroleum-jelly won’t cure dry-skin. In fact, regular use of petroleum-jelly will stop the skin from producing its own moisture – creating an endless loop of reapplication.
And why bother with petroleum-jelly when there are so many healthier options that will do the double work of healing and protecting the skin.
Here are some excellent occlusives that will help keep your skin hydrated. Try applying them just before bed so they can work their healing magic while you sleep.

1.Shea Butter
Extracted from the nuts of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, shea-butter has been used for centuries by the peoples of West Africa to nourish the skin in arid climes. It works as both a moisturizing emollient and a protective occlusive. Shea butter is a complex fat that is enriched with calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, potassium, fatty acids, and Vitamin-E.
2.Cocoa Butter
Bolstered by a wonderful chocolaty scent, cocoa-butter is another ointment that doubles as an emollient and an occlusive.
It is composed of a wealth of fatty-acids and antioxidants, including catechins, gallic acid, anthocyanidins, and proanthocyanidins, which provide an anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. This unique mix of polyphenols has been shown to promote skin tone, elasticity, and collagen production.
3.Beeswax
Produced by worker bees to preserve their honey stores and protect offspring within the honeycomb, beeswax is a natural marvel when it comes to skin care.

Are you constantly fatigued? When cold and flu season comes around, do you find that you almost always get sick? How about allergies? If you experience chronic aches, pains, sniffles, and illnesses, you may be suffering from a weakened immune system. This can be an extremely frustrating state of being and can have a significant impact on virtually every area of your life, including energy, mood, stress management, physical vitality, sleep quality, body composition, and even your longevity and overall risk of developing chronic disease.
Here are 8 very easy, all-natural steps you can take to strengthen your immune system


1.Get enough sleep and manage stress.
Sleep deprivation and stress overload increase the hormone cortisol, prolonged elevation of which suppresses immune function. Whatever amount of sleep you need to feel refreshed in the morning, whether that’s 6 hours or 8—make sure you get it

2.Consider probiotics
Did you know that 80% of your immune system is located in your gut? There are trillions of beneficial bacteria in your intestines that help you fight disease and absorb nutrients. Keeping this population healthy and strong is arguably your strongest defense against colds, flus and many other diseases.
Replenish your gut flora daily by incorporating wholesome fermented foods and drinks into your diet like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchee.
Not only will it keep your gut flora healthy help protect you from disease, but it can also give you better digestion.

3.Catch some rays. 
Sunlight triggers the skin’s production of vitamin D. The majority of adults and children in the U.S. are deficient in the sunshine vitamin, putting them at greater risk for all infections. A number of recent medical trials have demonstrated that individuals with the lowest levels of vitamin D had the highest rates of serious illness and infections.
You can get Vitamin D naturally by daily exposing your arms and face for 20-minutes in the sun, but most people need more than this. Good dietary sources include good old fashioned cod liver oil, grassfed beef liver, egg yolks from pasture-raised chickens, and fatty fish like salmon. You can also buy liquid Vitamin D supplements which are very effective and easy to take.

4.Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds
Fruits & Vegetables will provide your body with the nutrients your immune system needs. A study in older adults showed that boosting fruit and vegetable intake improved antibody response to the Pneumovax vaccine, which protects against Streptococcus pneumonia.

5.Avoid tobacco, smoke & Alcohol. Smoking undermines basic immune defenses and raises the risk of bronchitis and pneumonia in everyone, and middle ear infections in kids. Excessive consumption of alcohol impairs the immune system and increases vulnerability to lung infections.

6.Go for garlic. 
Garlic is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent and immune booster. Because heat deactivates a key active ingredient, add it to foods just before serving.

7.Eat medicinal mushrooms 
Mushrooms such as shiitake and maitake (sometimes sold as “hen of the woods”). A recent study showed that a concentrated extract of shiitake enhanced immune function in women with breast cancer.

8.Try immune-supportive herbs. If you get recurrent infections, consider taking immune-supportive herbs such as eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticocus), Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), or astragalus (A. membranaceus).

There’s no denying that Americans love avocados. During Superbowl festivities alone, 79-million pounds of avocados are eaten. That’s roughly 158-million avocados!
Research shows that people who eat avocados tend to be generally healthier, with a much higher nutrient intake and lower Body-Mass-Index than those who don’t.
So don’t just limit your avocado consumption to Superbowl season, you’ll be missing out on these 8 great health-benefits if you do!
1.A Source of Healthy Fats
Although the fat content of avocados is high, they contain ‘good-fats’ including monounsaturated fat. This type of fat can reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack along with the levels of bad-cholesterol in the blood.

2.Fight Inflammation
Chronic inflammation in the body is thought to be responsible for asthma, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, heart-disease, cancer and most of today’s modern diseases.
Avocado might just help fight inflammation, thanks to its oleic acid-content. Oleic acid has been linked with reduced inflammation in several studies.

3.Healthy Skin and Hair
With healthy fats and inflammation fighting properties, avocado can give you smooth-skin and glossy hair.
One fruit also contains over 20% of your daily dose of Vitamin-E which protects body tissue from damage by free radicals, thought to play a role in aging.
Instead of buying expensive Vitamin-E enriched skincare creams, eat avocados or try avocado-oil and fight aging from within!


4.Improve Nutrient Absorption
When it comes to vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, it doesn’t matter how much we eat. What matters is how much we absorb. Some nutrients are fat soluble, meaning they need to be combined with fat in order for our bodies to assimilate them. Examples of fat-soluble nutrients include Vitamin-A, Vitamin-D, Vitamin-E and Vitamin-K, along with certain antioxidants. The healthy fats in avocado helps absorb these nutrients better.

5.Role in Cancer Fighting
Research points to avocado being beneficial in fighting cancer. One study has shown that avocado extract may stop or slow the growth of prostate cancer cells. Another has shown that it may help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, However, these studies are limited so it may be best to just enjoy avocado for the wealth of other benefits it brings.


6.Improve Digestion
Fiber is an important component of any balanced diet – it keeps your digestive-system running smoothly. Even though fruits and veggies are absolutely loaded with fiber, it’s something that most Americans don’t get enough of! Aim to hit your fiber target by eating more avocado – one fruit contains 13 grams, around 54% of your recommended daily fiber intake!

7.Enhance Your Mood
An avocado a day might cheer you up thanks to its vitamin and mineral content – especially potassium and folate.
Some studies have found a link between a lack of potassium and depression. A review of several scientific studies on the relationship between sodium, magnesium and potassium in depressed patients, found that depressed men and women all had low levels of potassium.
Folate, too, is important to stave off low mood and signs of depression, something researchers have recognized since the 1960s.

8.Improve Immunity
Avocados are a great source of the B vitamins, which help you fight off illness and infection. They also give you plenty of Vitamin-C and E – both natural immune boosters. High blood levels of vitamin C may be the ideal nutrition marker for overall health.

Many people struggle with having fat on their inner thighs. While you cannot get rid of fat from only a specific part of your body, you can do exercises to build the muscles in your thighs to make them look toned.

1.Squats

Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Lower yourself toward the ground as if you were about to sit in a chair. When your thighs are parallel to the ground, stand back up, returning to your starting position. Make sure your behind extends behind you so that your knees don’t move forward past your toes. You should be able to see the top of your sneakers throughout the whole workout. If you don’t see your shoes, shift your weight back.
2.Forward Lunge

Stand with your feet flat on floor. Step one foot forward as far as you can while dropping the back knee toward the ground. Be sure to lower yourself toward the ground instead of forward toward your toes. You should see your front toes throughout the entire movement, so be sure you don’t extend forward. Complete the same number of reps on the other side.
3.Side Lunge

Stand with feet slightly wider than hip distance. Step one foot out to the side as far as you can while lowering yourself toward the ground. Your opposite leg should remain straight, and you should feel a stretch in the inner thigh of that leg. Push powerfully off the bent leg to return to your starting position. Complete the same number of reps on the other side.


4.Abduction


Lie on the ground on your side. Lift your top leg as high as you can, and lower to start with control. Roll over and complete on the other side. You may rest a dumbbell on your leg near the outside of your knee to add resistance, or wear a set of ankle weights.


5.Adduction

Lie on your side. Cross your top leg over your bottom leg. Begin lifting your bottom leg up toward the ceiling. Try not to let your torso rock backward. You may wear ankle weights to increase resistance. Repeat same number of sets on both legs.

6.Curtsy Lunge

Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Step one leg behind you as you cross it behind the front leg, bending both knees simultaneously as you lower toward the ground. Return to your starting by pushing off the back knee. Repeat the same number of sets on both legs.




7.Wall Sit

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your back against a wall. Walk your feet out and lower yourself toward the ground until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Hold this position for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat several times. Avoid putting your hands on your thighs. Instead, keep them overhead or down at your sides.
8.Jump Squats

Stand with your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart. Lower yourself toward the ground, then jump into the air as high as you can, landing softly. Make sure your behind extends behind you so that your knees don’t move forward past your toes. You should be able to see the top of your sneakers throughout the whole workout. If you don’t see your shoes, shift your weight back.
