Doesn't it seem like almost every day we hear of yet another person who just got the terrible news: "You've got cancer.
" It's scary, isn't it? And heartbreaking.
I don't know about you, but I can't bear the thought of my children, family, or dear friends getting cancer.
In fact, I can't wrap my brain around me getting it either--it's just too upsetting.
Maybe because we don't think about it much, that's why we all respond the same way when it does happen to us, "I just didn't think it would happen to me.
" Somehow cancer doesn't seem real until you, or someone you love, is its next victim and then reality and you have a head-on collision.
The result: your world gets jolted upside-down out of your control, and your life is changed forever.
The ironic part is, any one of us could have cancer growing out of control, building momentum, right this very second and not know it.
Cancer is very sneaky like that.
Perhaps it would make sense to take care of our bodies now and not wait for a war with cancer, or another disease like heart disease or diabetes, to invade our lives and snatch away our health, fitness, and well-being.
What can you do right now to build up an army of healthy cell warriors so it can search and destroy renegade cancer cells, which may be secretly gathering to attack? I know you know.
The question remains, however, do you actually "do" what you "know?" That's the tricky part--the "doing," not the "knowing.
" In other words, how hard is it to know that whole, fresh fruits and vegetables prevent cancer, build health, and even promote weight loss? That's a no-brainer.
But how hard is it to make the shift from the standard American favorites of meat, cheese, brown-colored white bread, boxed cereals, white pasta, and sugary and salty goodies to a day and a life packed with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables? Yes, that's one gigantic leap, but it's doable, one conscious step at a time.
It's not only doable, but it's a must if you want to sidestep a face-off with the mistress cancer herself, or one of her equally wicked buddies.
I don't know about you, but speaking for myself, I would rather go through the effort and inconvenience of change now than go through the pain of regret.
Lucky us--we have the freedom of choice.
Your choice.
Your life.
Remember, your life does make a difference--to all those whose lives you touch.
