 took him away two years ago.

In these two years, I have remebered him everyday.missed him everyday. wished he was here everyday...but he never came....and I know -now he never will

For you, Papa....

Myths that make fighting with cancer more difficult.

1. Cancer is contagious
2. If you eat sugar, cancer spreads fast
3. Garlic keeps cancer away
4. Cancer cannot be treated
5. Cancer kills
6. Cancer Surgery, speeds up the spread of cancer in the body
7. Cancer spreads in the body faster, when exposed to air.
8. Being happy and joyful, helps you to recover faster. But yes, keeping a positive attitude does help in fighting cancer....

These all are myths, and not facts. So be smart enough to not fall in the trap. Fighting cancer is not easy. It takes lot of courage and lot more  knowledge to beat cancer. Have faith in yourself and your doctor.

Be aware, Fight Cancer!

I Love You, Papa!

Fight Cancer with food

Prevention is better then cure.  

My father always said, the easiest way to stay healthy is maintaining healthy food habits. Having good diet can help you build immunity which is a crucial in fighting any disease - cancer or any other illness. 

In 2012, according to a report by the ACS, stated that there was strong 'evidence´ that  a good diet and exercise can prevent cancer form  returning  and also increase rates of survival.

Remember, bioactive natural products will do much more good to your body then synthetic pills. Below is the list of food that can help fight cancer.

1. Nuts
2. Garlic
3. Pulses
4. Carrots
5. Beetroot
6. Broccoli
7. Oily Fish
8. Tomatoes
9. Mushrooms
10. Green leafy vegetable
11. Red and yellow pepper
12. Pumpkin seeds & Sunflower seeds

Apart from having the above food, if possible please include the following habits in your daily dietary charts

• Avoid Sugar
• Take a daily probiotic
• Avoid dairy products
• Eat whole foods
• Drink green tea, 3-5 cups a day. It helps in detoxification by neutralizing the free radicals.

I love you, Papa
