Top Eight Cancer Findings of 2012
The American Institute for Cancer Research released the top eight
scientific findings in 2012 that advanced the field of cancer prevention.
1. Pancreatic Cancer is
Preventable. A healthy weight can prevent 19 percent of pancreatic cancer
cases.
2. Exercise Helps Cancer
Survivors. Physical activity in cancer patients helps improve function, quality
of life, body weight, strength, and fatigue.
3. Soy is Safe, despite
Previous Warnings. Breast cancer patients and survivors can safely eat moderate
amounts of soy.
4. Inactivity is Harmful.
Sedentary lifestyle causes 10 percent of both breast cancers and colon cancers.
5. Lightening Our Heavy
Nation. Two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese, which increases the risk
of seven cancers.
6. Sugary Drinks Linked to
Weight Increase. Regular consumption of sugary beverages contributes to weight
gain.
7. Losing Weight for Lower
Risk. Losing weight can reduce chronic inflammation, which is linked to some
cancers.
8. How to Keep Weight Off. Adding vegetables and fruits
is the single most effective strategy for long-term weight loss.

Healthy Weekly Motivator:
Revive
Your Routine
Having a consistent fitness routine is the easiest way to
make activity part of your daily life. When planning your exercise, aim for
SMART moves (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely): pick a time,
place and activity that fits into your life and stick with it!
Find three places in your schedule this week where you can
fit fitness. It may be in the morning, during your lunch break, before dinner
or in the evening. Recommit to these times at the end of the week, or adjust
your work-out schedule if need be.
Have a
great week everyone and remember a better tomorrow starts with what you eat
today!
