Anticancer: A New Way of Life


I am just finishing reading the book Anticancer. I highly recommend it. It not longer gives recommendations for eating healthier (and other tips) but it also tells you why. We are aggressively moving to a healthier life style ... this week I am giving up coffee and moving to Japanese green tea. The benefits of green tea are higher in Japanese green tea versus Chinese green tea due to the levels of EGCG which reduce new vessels needed for tumor growth, its a powerful antioxidant, detoxifer and facilities the death of cancer cells by apoptosis. Yeah, you'll have to read the book to understand that last sentence. Bottomline ... we all have cancer in our bodies and the goal is to keep it from rearing its ugly head. And to beat it back when it does.
