Avoiding Cancer One Day At A Time |
 Practical Advice For Preventing Cancer
The overall mortality rate from cancer hasn't changed in 60 years despite the billions invested to find a cure. Avoiding Cancer One Day At A Time provides solid, practical advice for preventing cancer by avoiding carcinogens and implementing lifestyle/dietary practices that modify cancer causing factors. Combining their experience in family medicine and epidemiology with their passion for disease prevention, the authors provide the most up to date and effective advice for preventing cancer from developing in ourselves and our loved ones. Many "how to" examples for preventing cancer by being environmentally aware, avoiding infections, living the proper lifestyle and getting the proper nutrition are provided. Chapter by chapter summaries and listings of the latest cancer prevention web sites are great references. Highlights of Chapter 8 include ways to get 5-9 servings of fruit & vegetables per day, when to purchase organically grown food and a carefully researched list of super-foods that have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer. Worksheets assist readers in implementing the advice in very tangible ways, and the recipe collection of cancer avoiding meals is a winner!
This book is designed to provide practical, and in many cases simple, ideas to decrease your risk of developing cancer. Most of the recommendations are based on review of solid studies published in credible journals, presented in an empowering, easy-to-read and sometimes humorous fashion. The author also has a website about this book located at: http://www.avoidcancernow.com/

Nine Super-Nutritious Foods |
 "You're in the grocery store shopping for a carton of orange juice for tomorrow's breakfast and you're faced with a decision--plain old juice or, for no extra cost, one fortified with bone-building calcium.
You're not alone. Promising better bang for the buck, products like these, called functional foods, are increasingly filling grocery store aisles--and our fridges.
But do we really need them? In Pictures: Nine Super-Nutritious Foods
"There's a finite volume in the stomach and everybody is vying for that volume," says Fergus Clydesdale, distinguished professor and department head at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. "One way to try to get a part of the share of that volume is to offer something that has some health benefit." "

To avoid colon cancer, eat more fruit, study finds |
|
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People who eat a diet high in fruit and low in meat reduce their risk of developing colon cancer, researchers reported on Wednesday.
Their study supports other research showing that meat can raise the risk of getting cancer, especially colon cancer, and offers details about what other factors in the diet might be important.
The team at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill interviewed 725 people who had just had colonoscopies about their diet, smoking and other habits.
Of these, 203 had learned they had adenomas, polyps that often turn into tumors and are removed during a colonoscopy."

 "Sharpen your presentation skills with these simple steps to make the most of your meetings.
By Paige Arnof-Fenn March 19, 2007
Abe Lincoln once said, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four sharpening the axe." Whether or not you agree with his proportion of time spent preparing, it's hard to argue against the idea that doing your homework will serve you well. How do you prepare for big meetings or presentations? Has that changed over time, or do you have certain routines you always follow? In speaking with many CEOs and business owners, there are a number of steps most agree help you put your best foot forward.
Know your audience. Who are you meeting with or interviewing? Have you done a Google search on them? Do you know who set the agenda if it wasn't you? It's always best not to be surprised or blindsided at a meeting. The more you know about the people you meet, including their backgrounds, needs and how they define success, the more productive your discussions will be.
Eat, sleep and be merry. Nothing beats a good night's rest and a full stomach when it comes to meeting with someone. A warm smile and friendly conversation go a long way in building rapport and ultimately a solid relationship, which is the foundation for everything that follows. If you're in a pinch, grab some coffee and an energy bar before you start. It beats hearing your stomach growl and fighting yawns during a meeting.
Practice makes (almost) perfect. "

The Stress Management and Health Benefits of Laughter |
"The Laughing Cure
Research has shown health benefits of laughter ranging from strengthening the immune system to reducing food cravings to increasing one's threshold for pain. There's even an emerging therapeutic field known as humor therapy to help people heal more quickly, among other things. Humor also has several important stress relieving benefits.
Stress Management Benefits of Laughter:
* Hormones: Laughter reduces the level of stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine, adrenaline, dopamine and growth hormone. It also increases the level of health-enhancing hormones like endorphins, and neurotransmitters. Laughter increases the number of antibody-producing cells and enhances the effectiveness of T cells. All this means a stronger immune system, as well as fewer physical effects of stress.
* Physical Release: Have you ever felt like you "have to laugh or I'll cry"? Have you experienced the cleansed feeling after a good laugh? Laughter provides a physical and emotional release. "

40 FACTS ABOUT SLEEP YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW... |
(OR WERE TOO TIRED TO THINK ABOUT) "
-The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses.
- It's impossible to tell if someone is really awake without close medical supervision. People can take cat naps with their eyes open without even being aware of it.
- Anything less than five minutes to fall asleep at night means you're sleep deprived. The ideal is between 10 and 15 minutes, meaning you're still tired enough to sleep deeply, but not so exhausted you feel sleepy by day.
- A new baby typically results in 400-750 hours lost sleep for parents in the first year - One of the best predictors of insomnia later in life is the development of bad habits from having sleep disturbed by young children.
- The continuous brain recordings that led to the discovery of REM (rapid eye-movement) sleep were not done until 1953, partly because the scientists involved were concerned about wasting paper.
- REM sleep occurs in bursts totaling about 2 hours a night, usually beginning about 90 minutes after falling asleep. "

5 Fundamentals of Fiscal Fitness |
|
"1. Save at least 10% of your annual income Begin saving to build a liquid cash reserve. Once you have achieved sufficient liquidity, direct savings toward balancing and building your portfolio. Savings also include retirement plan contributions.
2. Have sufficient liquidity Most wage earners should have 10% of their annual income in a primary cash reserve (A1) and another 20% in a secondary reserve. Self-employed and retired individuals should build their cash reserves to an even greater level.
3. Fully fund your pensions Take advantage of tax deferred savings plans, especially if your employer matches contributions.
4. Have the right size house For most middle income Americans, your home is the most significant investment you will ever make. Buy a home 2 or 2 1/2 times your annual income, with a mortgage of 50% or more of its value. If the value of the home reaches 100% to 125% of your income, sell it and trade up again.

Procrastination: Ten Things To Know |
|
" Is your procrastination hindering you? Ten things you should know. There are many ways to avoid success in life, but the most sure-fire just might be procrastination. Procrastinators sabotage themselves. They put obstacles in their own path. They actually choose paths that hurt their performance. Why would people do that? I talked to two of the world's leading experts on procrastination: Joseph Ferrari, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at De Paul University in Chicago, and Timorthy Pychyl, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Neither one is a procrastinator, and both answered my many questions immediately. 1. Twenty percent of people identify themselves as chronic procrastinators. For them procrastination is a lifestyle, albeit a maladaptive one. And it cuts across all domains of their life. They don't pay bills on time. They miss opportunities for buying tickets to concerts. They don't cash gift certificates or checks. They file income tax returns late. They leave their Christmas shopping until Christmas eve. 2. It's not trivial, although as a culture we don't take it seriously as a problem. It represents a profound problem of self-regulation. And there may be more of it in the U.S. than in other countries because we are so nice; we don't call people on their excuses ("my grandmother died last week") even when we don't believe them." ....
