Cancer occurs in the body when mutations or changes take place in the genetic material that regulates normal cell growth. These changes in genetic material allow the cell to divide and multiply in an uncontrolled manner. Breast cancer is cancer that results in uncontrol growth of the breast cells. It predominantly affects women but can affect men too.

Breast cancer has been reported as the most common type of cancer in women worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer. It contributes to almost 16% of all types of cancer in women. Multiple factors contribute to the development of breast cancer including diet, environment, and inherited factors. Certain food items like walnuts, peanuts, and almonds can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by a factor of 2 to 3. [1]

Peanuts contain several anticancer components that may help stop the spread of cancer cells. [2] Two compounds, phytosterols, and resveratrol have been identified in peanuts that have anticancer properties. They cut off the blood supply to cancer cells, thus inhibiting their growth. A high intake of peanuts has also shown a decrease in colon cancer.

Walnuts are a potentially high value diet component in strategies for the prevention of cancer. Walnuts contain different components like ellagitannins, melatonin, and gamma-tocopherol that reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and gene expression that lead to cancer cell production. [3]

Almonds have been found by study to exert a protective effect against breast cancer due to certain compounds present in them, such as phytic acid, phytosterol, and resveratrol that have antineoplastic effects on cancer cells. Almonds are also rich in flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties.

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
