Food helps us by supplying many vital micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Your genetic composition can make you susceptible to some types of cancer. Your way of eating plays a major role in increasing or reducing the risk of cancer. Phytochemicals are non-nutritive substances found in plants. They protect us against diseases when they are in our body. Isoflavones and Lycopene are phytochemicals. Isoflavones decrease the risk of breast cancer for premenopausal women, while Lycopene decreases the prostate cancer risk in middle aged men.Soya is a great source of Isoflavones like genisteinm and daidzein. Although isoflavones are weak estrogens, the established hypothesis has been that isoflavones exert antiestrogenic effects when placed in a high-estrogen environment (pre-menopausal women) and estrogenic effects when in a low-estrogen environment, (post-menopausal women). Daidzein was found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in many studies. Genistein: Reduces the protective mechanisms of cancer cells. Acts as an antioxidant. Inhibits several enzymes in cellular signaling pathways. Increases levels of transforming growth factor-beta' that inhibits the growth of tumor...more

America is in a health crisis. Almost one quarter of every dollar is spent on health care. America is thirty-seventh on the health scale, which is not very good. One out of every three people gets cancer in America, one out of two gets an autoimmune disease, two out of three are overweight, and three out of four have a degenerative disease. All these diseases are on the rise. Do you see a problem here? I do. Our physical, mental, and even our spiritual existence is at risk. Our bodies do not get what they need to keep us well anymore. The relationship between physical, mental, and spiritual health is very direct. Daily stress adds to the problem. What can you do about it? Prioritize your life, exercise, eat healthy, and take the best quality supplements.Prioritize your life by rejecting "good" and seeking the "best." I heard someone say once: That enemy of the best is good. I believe it. There are different ways you can throw out the good and do the best. This is what I recommend.1. Spend every morning getting to know Jesus by praying, reading God's word, and looking for a principle for that day to apply to your life.2. Spend quality time with your spouse and treat them as if you...more
