Cancer Prevention

I had a unique opportunity to speak to a small group about basics of cancer prevention.
Cloud 9 is a baby clothing,everything baby store who graciously gave back part of her store which is neat and clean for us to get together .It was a nice cozy room.
I am going to summarize the salient points.
Factors that are important in cancer prevention
Diet
Sleep
Environment
Exercise- movement,Yoga,Taichi,QiGong
Mindfulness
Love and hope
Cigarette smoke,second hand cigarette smoke
Alcohol in limited amounts
Reduce inflammation
Decrease sugar
Supplements and herbs

I am going to emphasize some key points,
High heat or high flame cooking like grilling,deep frying release heterocyclic amines which are  precancerous.

Indoor and outdoor pollution can be reduced.
Wood floors are treated with formaldehyde which is toxic.
Aerate dry cleaned clothes by removing plastic from them before hanging them in your closet.
Keep a few green houseplants.
EWG.org is a good website to get good info on this topic.
Do not do extreme exercise.
