Easy, low-cost, safe way to cut cancer rates by 1/3rd

Published by libertarianvegan at 11:13 pm under Health Edit This

According to new research from the World Cancer Research Fund , there is an easy, cheap, safe way to cut cancer rates - (ready?) - healthy food and exercise.  Who would have thought?

Yes, new research shows that simple changes in diet and exercise can prevent some 40% of breast and pancreatic cancers, 36% of lung cancers, 60% mouth cancers, 25% kidney cancers and 45% of bowel cancers.  Cancer is the #2 killer in the United States, after heart disease.

Meanwhile, President Obama wants $634 billion to begin national health care.  Personally I do not have health care at the moment because I cannot afford it.  However, I do everything in my power to stay healthy.  Eating healthy does not have to be expensive by any means.   Substituting a meal as simple as rice and beans in place of fast food brings you much greater nutrition at an even cheaper cost.

And….exercise is free.  Absolutely free.  You do not need to buy anything at all to exercise - no fancy machines, no gym membership, nothing.  Something as simple as parking farther away from the grocery store so you have to walk a greater distance increases your exercise and your health.

Yet, under nationalized health care my tax dollars would go to people who do absolutely nothing positive for their own health, as well as those that need help.  It seems that many people who advocate national health care are the ones eating crap while drinking and smoking themselves to death.  Now, if that is what you want to do with your life, more power to you, but it is absurd to say I should pay for the inevitable problems that result from such a lifestyle.

Certainly there are many people who need help paying valid health related bills, but it should be the responsibility of every individual to do whatever they can for their own health.

But America doesn’t want that.  They want to be taken care of like children and have a pill created for every disease (real and metaphorical alike).  There is no secret to being healthy - take care of yourself.  Of course unexpected things will come up, but there is so much that you can do in your everyday life to greatly minimize such events.
