What does this mean? There’s a need to start a right diet!

Start eliminating some of the processed food we eat, and exercise will help your immune system to fight and remove all the toxins we are in connect with every day. Cancer is not some mysterious disease that randomly happens!!

We have been continually exposed to toxins every day since we were born. Our bodies are depositing grounds for hundreds of thousands of toxic compounds that are in are water, and the soils are food is grown in.

More than 3,000 chemicals are added to the food supply. 10,000 chemicals in the form of solvents, emulsifiers, and preservatives are used in food processing, packaging, wrapping, and storage. The EPA estimates there are more than 20,000 chemicals that our bodies cannot metabolize. Chemicals build up, they alter our metabolism, causing enzyme dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies, create hormonal imbalances, damage brain chemistry, and cause cancer.

Diets that are low in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and high in processed or red meats are linked with a number of cancers.
