Lifestyle Wins Again for Better Health
Yet another study shows lifestyle change has a more dramatic effect on your health than any amount of drugs. (I'm talking about the chronic diseases that kill most westerners).
What is great about this particular research is that it highlights just how quickly positive efects happen.
A study at Brigham Young University found a combination of a 'healthy' diet and 30 minutes of cardio exercise a day dramatically decreased risks of cancer, diabetes and heart disease in just 6 weeks.
Maybe if they followed what I term a 'Human diet' (a hunter-gatherer diet) as outlined here - Human Diet with the types of exercise Al Sears recommends - PACE Program they would find even quicker and more profound results.
Best of Health

Cancer - is it a nutritional deficiency?
Cancer - Is It A Nutritional Deficiency?
So often your average medical doctor will laugh at the idea that diet and nutrition can help your health. This is largely helped by pharmaceutical companies doing everything they can to back rubbish research into the area of nutrition.
However, when the WHO comes out with a statement such as "85% of cancers are avoidable" and half of these are due to "nutritional deficiences in the Western diet" you would hope there might be something in the news, or that doctors might get interested.
But no.
I was speaking to a cardiac specialist last night about diet and nutrition. His opinion, after 10 years of in-depth research was that diet plays a huge role in human health and suspects that nutritional supplementation has a previously neglected important part to play.
He too found it frustrating that despite evidence that diet is a far more effective at preventinig heart disease than statins, his colleagues did not want to listen.
It's a strange world when those that are supposedly trained in human health take so little interest in it.
Oh well.
