(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 23, 2015 ) Beaverton, Oregon -- Information compiled by Cancer Research UK from 2007-2011 has shown that at least four out of ten cancer cases could have been avoided by simple changes in lifestyle.
Smoking was the biggest culprit, which may come as no surprise, followed by obesity and alcohol consumption.
Victoria Playfair, co-founder of Savi Wellness Probiotics, says, "It has never been easier to make the changes necessary that can help a person decrease the risk of cancer. There are ways to stop smoking that can ease the addiction, from electronic cigarettes to various patches.
With the increase in smart phone use, there are also apps for everything from menu planning to workout reminders to recording calories burned during activity. You don't have to be entering a New Year for it to be the perfect time to re-evaluate where you are now and where you would like to be in terms of health, fitness, habits, diet and other factors that go into creating a healthier you."
Studies show that most cancers stem from things that can be changed. These are called environmental factors.
People from different areas of the world are at risk for different types of cancer depending on diet and lifestyle activities. If someone moves to a different country, those environmental factors change and the risk for developing different types of cancer changes also.
The good news is that there are many factors people can have control over.
Food as medicine has become much more prevalent in recent years. A quick scroll through any social media platform will bring up reams of information on every aspect of diet and nutrition.
"Every week a new miracle food comes to the forefront." says Playfair. "It can be bananas one week and turmeric the next. It's confusing and bordering on information overload. It is incredibly important to use your own judgement, listen to your body and to connect with a health care professional you trust to help guide you through this maze. The takeaway in all this is a very key point that is overlooked by many:
Disease begins in the gut. But so does good health.
Creating a balanced digestive environment may not ward off everything that may come your way, including cancer. What you do have control of, by maintaining your body's health in the best way you can, is allowing it to stay as strong and efficient as possible."
By studying probiotics and how they work within the body's system, science is making incredible discoveries showing just how interconnected gut health is to overall health and wellbeing. A healthy gut supports and strengthens the immune system, hormone and brain chemistry and inflammation responses, to name just a few."
Research continues to point towards the use of probiotic supplements as a vital key to promoting and supporting good gut health. By introducing billions of good bugs into the body's digestive system, the gut can rebuild it's strength and vitality.
One of the newest probiotics to hit the market is Savi Wellness Probiotic. Offering over 10 billion CFU's and 7 complimentary strains, including Acidophilus, it has been a hit with customers.
Savi Wellness is now offering a Summer Saver Sale at only $12.99 until June 30th.
