5 Natural Solutions to Prevent & Combat Cancer
Chiropractic Care: Now you may be wondering how chiropractic care can help with cancer prevention & healing. A well-aligned spine is crucial because spinal abnormalities can interfere with nerve supply and potentially hinder the body’s ability to function and combat cancer effectively. This essential also plays a significant role during cancer treatment by enhancing the overall healing process.
Nutrition: A diet rich in cancer-fighting foods like berries and cruciferous vegetables can lower your risk of breast cancer. These foods are packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants that help bolster your body’s natural defenses against cancer.

Mindset: Stress, which arises from various life pressures and daily responsibilities, can impact the body’s response to cancer. Chronic stress may lead to adverse health effects, including digestive problems, heart disease, high blood pressure, and a weakened immune system.

Oxygen & Exercise: Regular exercise plays a critical role in preserving general health throughout cancer treatment in addition to lowering the risk of breast cancer. Women who get regular exercise have a lower risk of breast cancer than women who don’t exercise. The American Cancer Society advises aiming for 75-100 minutes (about 1-2 hours) of strenuous activity or 150-300 minutes of moderate physical activity each week.
Minimizing Toxins: Minimizing exposure to cancer-causing chemicals present in everyday products is crucial and remains significant even during cancer treatment to alleviate additional stress on the body. Whether it’s toxins found in foods, skincare products, household items, or the environment – they pose a risk to the overall health of the body.
