Why is breast cancer usually found near the armpit?
658 days
Some time ago, I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar. I asked why the most common area for Breast Cancer was near the armpit. My question could not be answered at that time. This email was just sent to me, and I find it interesting that my question has been answered.
I challenge you all to rethink your every day use of a product that could ultimately lead to a terminal illness. As of today, I will change my usage.
I showed it to a friend going through chemotherapy and she said she learned this fact in a support group recently. The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant. What? A concentration of toxins which leads to cell mutations, a.k.a. CANCER. Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant /deodorant combination, so go home and check.
Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not.
Here’s why:- The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the knees, behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. Anti-perspirant, as the name clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins from below the armpits.
These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below the arms since it cannot sweat them out. Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located.
Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by anti-perspirant usage because most of the anti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and is not directly applied to the skin.
Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk further because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area.
PLEASE share this with anyone you care about. Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save lives.
TO YOUR HEALTH
Pilates Power Ring now being used in mat classes
The Pilates Power Ring is now being used in some of the mat classes to add a variety to the pilates workout. The Ring is a sprung circle steel measuring 13 to 14 inches in diameter and weighs about 1 kg. It is used as a resistance-training tool to supplement your pilates workout. By squeezing the circle between your legs or hands you work your thighs, chest or upper arm muscles to develop strength and improve muscle tone.
If you want to purchase a double handle ring – the cost is £15.00 which is cheaper than what you would pay on the high street.
Hope you enjoy your workout and seeing all your muscles tone up!
10 ways to avoid weight gain
Eatwell Plate
I am always being asked how to avoid weight gain over this festive time of year. In fact you should be able to follow this simple ways all the year round:
1. Eat your normal portion size! Fill up on vegetables rather than all the foods that are high in fat. Remember a Christmas day dinner is loaded with calories – 1500 and above. Nigella’s Christmas day lunch was the highest in calories and the lowest was Jamie Olivers.
2. Don’t stay too close to the buffet table - try and stay away from these types of foods as they are loaded with calories – try and eat before you go and just have a little nibble instead.
3. Drink lots of water - try and drink lots of water – have a glass of water inbetween the alcholic drinks – this will help to keep the headaches away as you will be hydrated.
4. Eat before you go out - try and eat during the day as it is important to keep your metabolism up.
5. Drink sensibly - if you go out don’t binge – drink sensibly and remember the water!
6. Try and not eat after 8pm - if you eat late at night then you tend to go for the fatty foods which in turn are stored as fat. Try and eat little bits all day long so that when you do go out you are not really hungry.
7. Don’t buy goodies - try and not purchase lots of snack type food – crisps, biscuits, etc as you only end up eating them and feel guilty afterwards.
8. Focus on friends rather than food - If you have friends over try and focus on conversation, games etc and that will keep you away from the food table.
9. Exercise - try and keep up the exercise during this time of year – I no its hard when it is snowing, raining, foggy and frosty. You can always grab the neighbours dog and take it for a lovely brisk walk – you will feel better and the dog will love it.
10. Finally if you have put a few pounds on - then start thinking about eating properly again – get out low gi cookery books and start planning your meals. Remember the eatwell plate and visit http://www.eatwell.gov.uk for lots of good tips.
