    Foods Causing Cancer

    In Short all heated foods cause cancer!!!!!

    By heating whatever food, hundreds of different mutagenic substances originate. The more protein that food contains, the more mutagenics originate due to cooking etc. If we only live long enough, these substances eventually will cause cancer.

    The activity of antioxidants is very limited ; not even large amounts of all the (semi-) antioxidants in the world combined can disarm a substantial part of these mutagenics.

    The only way to effectively prevent cancer, is to prevent absorption of mutagenic substances from prepared food. Consume as little prepared food (proteinous prepared food in particular) and as much fruits and some fresh raw animal food regularly (like sashimi or fresh raw egg yolk, requiring an hour rest to digest by the way).

    5 Ways to Burn 100 Calories

    1. Get on your bike (10 minutes) Cycling is great exercise and easy on the joints. If you have kids, get everyone out into the fresh air together

    2. Walk to work (15 minutes) Walking is the easiest and the most natural exercise ever. At one day in a week, walk to work or park your car a little further away or get off the bus earlier than usual

    3. Skip for joy (15 minutes) Skipping ropes are cheap and can be used pretty much anywhere. Make sure you have a good pair of cross trainers and stretch your legs, especially your calves, before and after. Not only does skipping work the heart and lungs, your legs and upper body gets worked out too. Start with bursts of 2 to 3 minute and work up

    4. Dance around the house (20 minutes) Nothing improves leg muscle tone, cardiovascular fitness and your mood more. You don't need to go to a club. Just dance around your living room

    5. Power-Clean (20 minutes) No, that doesnt mean investing a Dyson. Housework is a great way to raise your heart rate and tone your muscles as long as you keep proper postual alignment and move quickly from chore to chore
