For some years, stress was suspected of being harmful to health.
Today, Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard University states that "80% of medical visits are related to stress, directly or indirectly. "And still according to this stress expert, there is a clear link between stress and cancer.
It is fortunate that more and more doctors and therapists are recognizing the link between the psychic and the physical, or the essential link between body and mind. This link between body and mind has always been taken into account by the most ancient oriental and traditional civilizations (Amerindians, Egyptians...).
Too long ignored in our industrial society, stress is almost inevitably linked to our current lifestyle. This famous stress can cause disorders ranging from the mildest to the most serious, such as cancers, which are becoming more and more numerous. Leading professors and researchers are convinced that breast and prostate cancer are caused or aggravated by stress.
It is therefore absolutely essential to learn how to manage stress and also to take care of your diet. These 2 preventive measures alone constitute a true anti-cancer strategy. Without understanding the deep mechanisms of cancer, we can put in place simple and easily applicable lifestyle habits that allow us to fight against this real scourge.
Simple and concrete measures such as drinking a sufficient quantity of purified water, integrating good oils (omega-3) into one's diet, eating a lot of raw vegetables (of organic origin if possible), limiting sugars and salt or avoiding aggressive cooking methods are already excellent assets. In addition, it is also easy to add regular intake of antioxidant or vitamin complexes, or the practice of a gentle outdoor sport (walking, cycling for example).
Getting away from electromagnetic pollution and rediscovering the joy of sharing moments of happiness with friends and family are also very beneficial and easy to do. The return to simplicity as well as to a healthy lifestyle in harmony with nature seems essential to get out of this policy of excessive, harmful and toxic consumption that generates stress and diseases. There are also now anti-stress plant compounds such as Phytostress or the Phytactiv.
