Joan Lunden, former GMA host, has cancer. This is sad news. What is also sad is that so many women and men are developing cancer. It is not enough to just have medical checkups. To truly be proactive to prevent disease involves your own self care. Nutrition is very important in providing the body with the necessary tools to detoxify itself, protect cells from free radical damage, produce enzymatic and metabolic functions, and even is involved in cellular apoptosis which eliminates cancer cells and other invaders such as viruses which are also linked with cancer. Nutrition plays an important role in helping to balance hormones. Being overweight is also linked with cancer and weight gain can be caused by too much estrogen in the body. Many cancers require hormones such as estrogen for growth. This is why hormone replacement therapy is linked with increased risk of breast cancer. Iodine deficiency is also linked with not only fibroids but breast cancer. The average American diet is truly very deficient in many essential nutrients. Anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer needs to also implement healthy diet. It is critical for their survival. When I walk through the mall and see people eating or look at clients food diaries I often feel sad that our society has somehow overlooked the very basics of living and creating life. Somehow we have to care enough to change this. cnn/2014/06/24/showbiz/celebrity-news-gossip/joan-lunden-cancer-gma/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 #joanlunden #breastcancer #cancer #estrogen #health #nutrition #nutritionist
