3 Ways to Increase Odds Against Cancer

Does cancer (known on this site as The Beast) run in your family? Are you looking for ways to improve your odds so that your genetics doesn't catch up with you?

The folks at RealAge have put together 3 tips that could help you.http://www.realage.com/ct/eat-smart/food-and-nutrition/tip/6928

1: Get more dark leafy greens in your diet and less red meat.

2: Walk 30 minutes a day

3: Spend 60 minutes a day destressing.

The Results:
When men with early-stage prostate cancer did all these steps as part of a study, the results were impressive. Gene activity associated with prostate-tumor growth decreased, while gene activity involved with disease protection increased. While more research is needed to confirm the results, there's little question that healthy habits like these have other benefits, too -- like better weight control, a better cholesterol profile, and healthier blood pressure.
