Support Sarah in her Cancer Prevention Challenge!

Hey folks, it’s that time of year again. Sarah is raising funds for the Cancer Prevention Challenge. The details of the challenge are the same as last year and can be found on her blog, if you would like to follow along, or even join in. (http://sarahdobec.blogspot.com/p/my-cancer-prevention-challenge.html)

Preventative medicine refers to measures taken to prevent diseases. We often make the assumption that disease is inevitable. Imagine instead if our lifestyles, diets and habits were actually preventative in nature. Here are some simple ways for you to easily get started:

- Increase your vegetable intake
(they are full of anti-cancer phyto-nutrients)
- Reduce your sugar consumption
(sugar suppresses the immune system)
- Sweat, either through exercise or a sauna
(aids the body’s detoxification process)
- Slow down, breathe (maybe even meditate)
(in order to reduce stress)

This year Sarah is raising funds for FoodShare, this wonderful non-profit community organization’s vision is Good Healthy Food for All. There are so many amazing programs at FoodShare we couldn't list them all in this article but we love them for their commitment to teaching kids the importance of healthy food. They promote student gardens, lunch programs and classroom education.
