Our Body Cures Cancer Every Single Day

We tend to think that cancer is a disease that is a big mysterious genetic puzzle that can only be treated with a chemical cure. The ultimate chain of events that lead to this frightening disease is complex, but in most cases, cancer is a 'lifestyle' disease we give to ourselves.

For the most part cancer is fueled by the food we eat, the chemicals we are exposed too, the polluted air that we breathe, and other lifestyle choices that weaken our defenses against this villain. Cancer cells are natural and every day our body deals with them and has numerous natural defenses to find and destroy these cells.

It is only when these cells grow faster than the body's ability to destroy then and they grow out of control that deadly tumors are formed. All this does not happen overnight, and it can take many years before symptoms appear and the disease is detected.

Although the human body actually 'cures' cancer every single day, no chemicals needed, a healthy immune system is. There is a simple cure and prevention for cancer, tip the balance back in your body's favor so it can do its job of defending itself against invaders.

Our immune system has become weakened as we become more sedentary and inactive. We spend as much as 80 percent of our day sitting - both at work and back at home on the couch. Everybody knows that our muscles are necessary for strength but not so well known is the fact that our muscles serve as our armor and defense against disease.

Yet we barely use the strength of our muscles anymore and when our muscular system weakens all of the systems and processes of the human body weaken as well. As there is little opportunity to stay strong in our modern world we must put back intentional proper exercise if we wish to remain strong and keep our disease defenses strong.

A proper program of exercise (strength training) is the only way to reboot our entire body strength and bolster disease protection. Exercise that engages the muscles directly helps keep our hormone levels healthy, which is important as high levels of certain hormones can increase cancer risk. Our muscles are also the storage sites for the amino acid glutamine and other proteins that are the immune systems fuel source. The more toned strong muscle tissue you have the more plentiful the supply is.

Protein is also stored in the muscles and this is necessary to produce new antibodies and white blood cells to find and destroy cancer cells and fight infections. If you do get sick having plenty of stored protein in toned muscle tissue means there is a reserve to be called upon when needed to help fight and recover from illness.

So forget the idea that strong muscles are all about looks, they are essential for a healthy immune system and the ability to combat disease. Get yourself started on a proper strength training program and never stop. This will reduce your risk of being the victim of some dreadful life threatening disease and might well save your life.
