12 Tips To Prevent Cancer.

While people who are surviving cancer is increasing, the number of people being diagnosed is also increasing.  The World Health Organisation states that rates of cancer will soar in the next 15 years. We have all been or will be affected at some time in our lives by this devastating disease.

There is no doubt that maintaining a strong immune system is an important component of preventing and surviving cancer and living a long, healthy life.  Here are some tips for supporting a robust immune system and are the platform of my health coaching practice:

Being 'on purpose'

1. Enjoying the outdoors, including the sunshine
2. Breathing deeply
3. Enjoying good quality water
4. Moving each day
5. Developing healthy relationships
6. Enjoying nutrient rich wholefoods
7. Sleeping
8. Connecting with nature
9. Detoxing and reducing our toxic load
10. Sharing our passion
11. Getting back in the drivers seat and taking control of our health
12. Having fun

Following these tips will help reduce stress and many of the activities that support cancer and a compromised immune system.  Use them as a checklist or choose just one tip and start adding it into your routine, then when it's established and it's a way of life,  choose another and so on.  By adding in great, healthy choices, we squeeze out the unhealthy, energy zapping choices and can find abundance rather than deprivation in what good health has to offer.

If you'd like to know more on what healthy food and lifestyle choices really are, I would love to chat. Just give me a buzz to find out more,
