The Medical Journal of Australia today released some new research showing that around 25% of cancers may be prevented in the future by eating better and exercising more. I like this! The research was based on projections out to the future, which estimate that about 170,000 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in 2025 – only 14 years away.
The research focussed on 12 different types of cancers – mouth and laryngeal, oesophageal, lung, stomach, pancreatic, gallbladder, liver, bowel, breast, uterine, prostate and kidney cancers. Of all these cancers, the research estimates that bowel cancer will be the cancer that is most likely to be prevented by eating better and moving our bodies more.
So what does all this mean? Well cancer is an illness that no one wants to be diagnosed with. And this new research shows that each of us can do something to reduce our risk of cancer. And we can all do something now! Only 8.8% of us eat enough vegetables (which is 5 serves a day in case you were wondering!), 35% of us are too sedentary and don’t move our bodies enough and 61% of adults are overweight or obese. Tomorrow is a new day and we can all start the day by doing something to prevent our risk of cancer. And if you have kids here are a few pics of some recent meals we have served up – easy, simple, tasty and healthy!

You pin pointed it well " Only 8.8% of us eat enough vegetables (which is 5 serves a day in case you were wondering!), 35% of us are too sedentary and don’t move our bodies enough and 61% of adults are overweight or obese".
We did it with our own hands ... and mouths :)
With obesity predicted to affect more than 50 percent of the population in the next 40 years, the age of ‘fad diets’ and ‘quick weight loss’ has boomed to epic proportions. From the apple cider diet to the Quantum Wellness, to the 48 Hour Miracle diet, each of these weight loss programs all claim to promote immediate weight loss and increased vitality.
This is simply not correct. Fruits, veggies, whole grain, nut products, dried beans as well as oils, many include proteins. Meats in fact has high levels of sodium, fat and salt, particularly in red meat which is not so healthy due to its high levels of cholesterol. Whole grain, nuts, oils, and dried beans in fact onsist of more proteins than in meat products. Your own body requires at least 25 grams of protein per day ,so it is obvious you do not haveto eat only meat to obtain your day-to-day allowance.
