Reducir a la mitad el riesgo de cáncer de mama
Lo oímos todo el tiempo ... perder peso para su salud. Pocas personas, sin embargo, darse cuenta de la medida en que esto es fundamental para su bienestar y en definitiva, su esperanza de vida física. En enero de 2003, el Diario de la Asociación Médica de Estados Unidos ofreció un estudio que encontraba que la obesidad aparece disminuir esperanza de vida, especialmente entre los jóvenes adultos. Los investigadores compararon Body-Mass Index (BMI) para la longevidad y encontraron una correlación entre la muerte prematura y los BMI más altos. Por ejemplo, un hombre blanco de 20 años de edad, 5'10 "con un peso 288 libras con un IMC superior a 40 se estimó que perder 13 años de su vida como resultado de obesity.Jamie McManus, MD, FAAFP y autor de "Su Guía Personal para el bienestar", señala que, si bien este estudio relacionó niveles extremos de obesidad, todavía hay millones de personas con sobrepeso en los países desarrollados, con una esperanza de vida que es de tres a cinco años menos que sus contrapartes de peso saludable. También estima que hay 600.000 relacionados con la obesidad de muertes cada año en Estados Unidos. ¿Cómo hace la obesidad acorta nuestra esperanza de vida? La respuesta a esta pregunta es compleja, sin embargo, hay una clara relación entre la obesidad y el desarrollo de cáncer. Un extenso estudio realizado por el Instituto Estadounidense del Cáncer que implica 750.000 personas mostró que la obesidad aumentó significativamente el riesgo de desarrollar cáncer en los siguientes órganos: de mama, colon, ovarios, útero, páncreas, los riñones y la vesícula biliar. Michael Thun, MD, vicepresidente de epidemiología e investigación de vigilancia de la American Cancer Society (ACS) dice que una de las razones de la obesidad puede aumentar el riesgo de cáncer se debe a que las células de grasa producen una forma de estrógeno llamado estradiol que promueve la rápida división de las células, lo que aumenta las posibilidades de un error genético al azar mientras que las células se replican, que puede conducir al cáncer. Además, la grasa se centró alrededor del abdomen puede aumentar la insulina y los factores de crecimiento similares a la insulina en la sangre, lo que puede aumentar el riesgo de cáncer. "Las mujeres que son obesas después de la menopausia tienen un riesgo relativo 50% mayor de cáncer de mama", señala Thun " y los hombres obesos tienen un riesgo relativo 40% mayor de cáncer de colon .... La vesícula biliar y los riesgos de cáncer de endometrio son cinco veces más altos para las personas obesas. "Hay evidencia de que las tasas de cáncer en los países desarrollados están aumentando entre 5 y 15 veces más rápido que los países en desarrollo. Un importante contribuyente a esta alarmante realidad ha demostrado ser dieta. En las poblaciones donde la dieta consiste principalmente de frutas y verduras y granos enteros frescos - en contraste con la dieta occidental típica de carnes grasas, harinas refinadas, aceites y azúcares - el riesgo de cáncer es mucho menor. La interacción de la dieta y el desarrollo de el cáncer es un campo activo de investigación y el Dr. David Heber, MD, Ph.D. y autor del libro "¿De qué color es su dieta", dice "Parece que la dieta tiene sus efectos más significativos después de que el cáncer ya se ha formado, actuando para inhibir o estimular el crecimiento de ese cáncer". A riesgo de simplificar en exceso un complejo conjunto de interacciones, la dieta occidental típica que conduce a la obesidad puede llegar a actuar para estimular el crecimiento de cells.It cáncer nunca es demasiado tarde para mejorar su salud a través de la alimentación saludable y la adopción de un estilo de vida más que da salud . Aquí están los pasos simples a seguir que puede hacer una mejora inmediata a su salud y vitalidad. 1. Revise su Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) para determinar si el peso se ha convertido en riesgo para la salud. Según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el 60% de los estadounidenses tienen sobrepeso, definido como un IMC (una proporción entre la altura y el peso) de 25 años. De ellos, casi la mitad (27%) califican como obesos, con una masa corporal índice de 30 o más. En 1980, sólo el 15% de los estadounidenses se consideran obesos. Usted puede comprobar su IMC en el sitio Web más abajo. 2. Correspondientes a su dieta a las necesidades de su cuerpo. Si usted come y bebe más calorías de las que su cuerpo necesita va a poner en el peso. Aprenda a controlar las calorías y tamaño de las porciones, hacer las recetas más ágil, y comer con poca frecuencia en los restaurantes de comida rápida. Aprenda también a la merienda con opciones saludables. 3. Colorea tu dieta con una gran variedad de colores, para combatir el cáncer de frutas y verduras. Hay siete gamas de colores diferentes, tanto de frutas y hortalizas, y por la elección de entre 5 y 9 sirve todos los días de una amplia gama de frutas y verduras, estamos ampliando nuestro consumo de cáncer (y otras enfermedades) nutrientes de lucha. 4. Comer proteína magra con cada comida. La proteína proporciona una poderosa señal al cerebro que proporciona una sensación de saciedad por más tiempo. La fuente adecuada de proteínas es esencial para controlar su hambre con pocas calorías y es necesario para mantener su masa muscular magra. Las opciones de proteína de soja deben ser con sabor batidos con frutas; la carne blanca de pollo y pavo, mariscos, como camarones, vieiras y langostinos langosta y peces del océano o los vegetarianos pueden preferir a base de soja sustitutos de la carne. 5. Acelere su metabolismo con la actividad. Si quieres disfrutar de una vida de bienestar, el ejercicio es un ingrediente clave. Colleen Doyle, MS, RD, directora de nutrición y actividad física para la Sociedad Americana del Cáncer (ACS), dice que los adultos deberían hacer algo por 30 minutos cada día que toma tanto esfuerzo como caminar a paso ligero. Los niños deben estar activos durante una hora cada día. Somos más propensos a desarrollar hábitos alrededor de cosas que nos gustan, así que buscamos actividades que le gusta hacer. También es útil para construir la actividad física en su rutina diaria: usar las escaleras en lugar de la escalera mecánica o un ascensor en el trabajo, aparcar el coche en la plaza de aparcamiento más alejado de la comercialización estupenda y no utilice el control remoto para cambiar los canales de TV. 6. Obtenga asistencia técnica para asegurar a desarrollar un plan de alimentación saludable y alcanzar su peso ideal. Mientras que un pequeño porcentaje de personas que poseen la disciplina para bajar de peso, muchas personas obesas han desarrollado fuertes pensamientos y hábitos en relación con los alimentos que consumen. Con el fin de establecer nuevos hábitos, la mayoría de las personas responden bien a algún tipo de estímulo consistente y coaching. Un estudio, "Efectos de la Internet Behavioral Counseling en la pérdida de peso en adultos con riesgo de diabetes tipo 2", muestra que los participantes que tenían el apoyo del entrenador de pérdida de peso perdieron más peso que aquellos que no lo hicieron. El estudio concluyó que el apoyo de un entrenador de la pérdida de peso puede mejorar significativamente los resultados de pérdida de peso. Tener sobrepeso u obesidad se ha identificado junto con el tabaquismo, ya que el mayor riesgo evitable para el desarrollo de cáncer. Incluso pequeñas pérdidas de peso se han demostrado tener efectos beneficiosos para la salud. Así que nunca es demasiado tarde para empezar y nunca se puede ser demasiado joven o demasiado viejo para estar preocupados por su salud y hacer algo acerca de lograr un peso más saludable

Halve Your Risk Of Breast Cancer
We hear it all the time…lose weight for your health. Few people however, realize the extent to which this is critical to their physical well-being and ultimately their life expectancy.
In January 2003, the Journal of the American Medical Association featured a study finding that obesity appears to lessen life expectancy, especially among young adults. The researchers compared Body-Mass Index (BMI) to longevity and found a correlation between premature death and higher BMIs. For example, a 20-year-old white male, 5'10″ weighing 288 pounds with a BMI of greater than 40 was estimated to lose 13 years of his life as a result of obesity.Jamie McManus, M.D., F.A.A.F.P. and author of "Your Personal Guide to Wellness" notes that while this study referenced extreme levels of obesity, there are still millions of overweight people in developed countries with a life expectancy rate that is three to five years less than their healthy-weight counterparts. She also estimates that there are 600,000 obesity related deaths each year in America.
Just how does obesity shorten our lifespan? The answer to this question is complex, yet there is a clear link between obesity and the development of cancer. An extensive study conducted by the American Cancer Institute involving 750,000 people showed that obesity significantly increased the risk of cancer developing in the following organs: breast, colon, ovaries, uterus, pancreas, kidneys and gallbladder.
Michael Thun, MD, vice-president of epidemiology and surveillance research for the American Cancer Society (ACS) says one reason obesity may raise cancer risk is because fat cells produce a form of estrogen called estradiol that promotes rapid division of cells, increasing chances of a random genetic error while cells are replicating, which can lead to cancer. In addition, fat centered around the abdomen may increase insulin and insulin-like growth factors in the blood, which may increase cancer risk.
"Women who are obese after menopause have a 50% higher relative risk of breast cancer," notes Thun, "and obese men have a 40% higher relative risk of colon cancer…. Gallbladder and endometrial cancer risks are five times higher for obese individuals".There is evidence that cancer rates in developed countries are increasing at 5 to 15 times faster than developing countries. A major contributor to this alarming reality has proven to be diet. In populations where the diet consists mostly of fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains – in contrast to the typical Western diet of fatty meats, refined flours, oils and sugars – the risk of cancer is much lower.
The interaction of diet and the development of cancer is an active field of research and Dr David Heber, M.D., Ph.D. and author of "What Color is Your Diet", says "It appears that diet has its most significant effects after the cancer has already formed, acting to inhibit or stimulate the growth of that cancer". At the risk of oversimplifying a complex set of interactions, the typical Western diet that leads to obesity may actually act to stimulate the growth of cancer cells.It is never too late to improve your health through healthful eating and adopting a more health-giving lifestyle. Here are simple steps to follow which can make an immediate improvement to your health and vitality.
1. Check your Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if weight has become health risk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 60% of Americans are overweight, defined as having a BMI (a ratio of height to weight) over 25. Of those, nearly half (27%) qualify as obese, with a body mass index of 30 or more. In 1980, just 15% of Americans were considered obese. You can check your BMI at the website below.
2. Match your diet to your body's requirements. If you eat and drink more calories than your body requires you will put on weight. Learn to control calories and portion sizes, make recipes leaner, and eat infrequently from fast food restaurants. Also learn how to snack with healthful choices.
3. Color your diet with a large variety of colorful, cancer-fighting fruit and vegetables. There are seven different color ranges of both fruit and vegetables and by choosing between 5 to 9 daily serves from a wide range of fruit and vegetables, we are extending our consumption of cancer (and other disease) fighting nutrients.
4. Eat lean protein with every meal. Protein provides a powerful signal to the brain providing a longer sense of fullness. The right source of protein is essential to controlling your hunger with fewer calories and necessary to maintain your lean muscle mass. Choices of protein should be flavored soy shakes with fruit; the white meat of chicken and turkey, seafood such as shrimps, prawns scallops and lobster and ocean fish or vegetarians may prefer soy based meat substitutes.
5. Rev up your metabolism with activity. If you want to enjoy a lifetime of well-being, exercise is a key ingredient. Colleen Doyle, MS, RD, director of nutrition and physical activity for the American Cancer Society (ACS), says adults should do something for 30 minutes each day that takes as much effort as a brisk walk. Children should be active for an hour each day. We are more likely to develop habits around things we enjoy, so seek activities which you enjoy doing. It is also helpful to build physical activity into your daily routine: use the stairs instead of the escalator or lift at work, park your car in the parking bay furthest from the super marketing and don't use the remote control to change TV channels.
6. Get support to ensure you develop a healthful eating plan and reach your goal weight. Whilst a small percentage of people possess the discipline to lose weight, many obese people have developed strong thoughts and habits concerning the food they eat. In order to establish new habits, most people respond well to some form of consistent encouragement and coaching. A study, "Effects of Internet Behavioral Counseling on Weight Loss in Adults at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes" shows that participants who had the support of weight loss coaching lost more weight than those who didn't. The study concluded that the support of a weight loss coach can significantly improve weight loss results.
Being overweight or obese has been identified next to smoking, as the most preventable major risk to developing cancer. Even small weight losses have been shown to have beneficial health effects. So it's never to late to start and you can never be too young or too old to be concerned about your health and do something about achieving a more healthy weight
