We put cancer down to hereditary factors or sheer bad luck.
Scientific research however shows that this is not the case and that life style such as diet and exercise constitutes about 70% weight in preventing cancer.
The dreaded hereditary factor only accounts for paltry 15% of cancer surge. Besides it can minimized or reversed with life style changes . please share any links to these

For fruits and vegetables intake a word of caution here. The source is very important to avoid consuming items filled with chemicals , insecticides and from questionable sources. It should be from natural source devoid of adulteration or artificial ripening using chemicals that can cause damage to the body (including cancer) The wazua spirit as members is to educate and inform and learn from others within the limit of what we know in any chosen area irrespective of our differences in tribes, nationalities, etc. .

BREAKFAST MYTH What if you are told that breakfast is not the most important meal of the day? What if you are told you can lead to your normal life without breakfast ? There is no medical proof that breakfast is a mandatory meal. One can schedule his or her breakfast later in the day like 11.00 am, noon or later. Breakfast is rather your first meal after the night rest . It is flexible and may not be confined to a specific morning hours . Breakfast as the most important meal was an advertisement gimmick by cereal manufacturers and other food producers .

POTTASIUM QUESTION....WHICH FOOD HAS THE HIGHEST The general notion is that we should consume banana that it is very rich in potassium. I was of this school of thought as well if you read through my earlier posts . We all know the health benefits of potassium. I have now realized that there are several foods rich or better still richer in potassium than banana . I can name a few . Talk of avocado, boiled potatoes , yams, spinach, cabbage , tomato paste etc The popularity of banana is based on the fact that it is readily available all year round and it is sweet . For healthy living sweet fruits is not the best as they spike up insulin and they are normally converted directly to glucose by the liver . This can lead to weight gain .

NUTRIENTS DENSE FOODS This is popularly called balanced diet . What is important here is the usefulness to the body but not how sweet or palatable . Ideal nutrient dense foods are always from natural or organic sources and not processed or packed foods . We are all familiar with classification of food by categories ie carbohydrates(or starch), proteins , fats and oil. Besides a good perspective to classify nutrient dense food is as follows :- - Electrolytes - Minerals - Vitamins - Phyto nutrients - Fiber The wazua spirit as members is to educate and inform and learn from others within the limit of what we know in any chosen area irrespective of our differences in tribes, nationalities, etc. .

SWEET POTATOES , A HEALTHY CARB WITH LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX Vitamin C Iron Vitamin B-6 Sweet potatoes are healthier than regular potatoes. However, regular potatoes are still packed with enough nutrients to be considered a superfood. When consuming potatoes in moderate portions, you will be consuming a ton of vitamins and nutrients that include fiber, iron, zinc, and potassium. This means that even regular potatoes can help protect your heart from heart disease. Potatoes have gained a bad rep among health enthusiasts due to their association with fast food treats like french fries and the like. It is time to reign potatoes back to the wholesome world!
