Berperang melawan kanker

We can do a lot, right now, to significantly decrease your cancer risk. Even the conservative American Cancer Society states that one-third of cancer deaths are linked to poor diet, physical inactivity, and carrying excess weight. So making the following healthy lifestyle changes can go a very long way toward ending the failure-streak and becoming one less statistic in this war against cancer:

  1. Normalize your vitamin D levels with safe amounts of sun exposure. This works primarily by optimizing your vitamin D level. Ideally, monitor your vitamin D levels throughout the year.
  2. Control your insulin levels by limiting your intake of processed foods and sugars/fructose as much as possible.
  3. Get appropriate amounts of animal-based omega-3 fats.
  4. Get appropriate exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.
  5. Eat according to your nutritional type. The potent anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much underappreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have.
  6. Have a tool to permanently erase the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. My particular favorite tool for this purpose, as you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique.
  7. Only 25 percent of people eat enough vegetables, so by all means eat as many vegetables as you are comfortable with. Ideally, they should be fresh and organic. Cruciferous vegetables in particular have been identified as having potent anti-cancer properties. Remember that carb nutritional types may need up to 300 percent more vegetables than protein nutritional types.
  8. Maintain an ideal body weight.
  9. Get enough high-quality sleep.
  10. Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.
  11. Reduce your use of cell phones and other wireless technologies, and implement as many safety strategies as possible if/when you cannot avoid their use.
  12. Boil, poach or steam your foods, rather than frying or charbroiling them

Perkenalkan nama saya saat ini …Rini Y.Kandara. Saat ini ..? Berarti di saat lain ada nama lain? … iya ! Katanya kan … dunia ini panggung sandiwara … ceritanya mudah berubah, ada saat kita bahagia … ada saat duka, ada saat menjadi murid, ada saat menjadi guru, ada saat jadi pasien …dsb. Nah … pada saat ini, peran utama yg dimainkan adalah sebagai pasien. Dengan demikian, nama Rini Y Kandara ini punya arti khusus, yaitu Rini Yang Kena kanker payudara.

Kenapa musti ada nama lain untuk peran yang berbeda?
Karena … saya tidak mau terlalu terpengaruh dengan keberadaan kanker yang saat ini sedang ingin menyapa hidup saya. Kehidupan sehari-hari yang telah saya jalani dari lahir hingga kini (Agustus 2007) yang sangat indah dan penuh warna sebagai Rini yang lain … insyaAllah tetap akan berjalan normal … meski tetap menyesuaikan dengan kondisi pemeran utama saat ini sebagai Rini Y. Kandara. Maksudnya … kalau pas mampu, badan sehat dan tidak lesu, ya kegiatan sehari-hari jalan terus …. mengajar, nguji, asistensi, nganter jemput sekolah anak2, mengajak mereka jalan2, arisan, pengajian, senam pernafasan, senam aerobic ringan, ping-pong, badminton, dsb…., diharapkan bisa tetap berlangsung …. semampunya....
