Cancer Is No Answer. Fight It and Protect Yourself.


I have been telling you all about the various ways to help fight cancer and to remain cancer free. The problem, of course, seems that no matter what we do, exercise, eat healthy foods in small portions, meditate to unstress, and numerous other techniques to battle one of the worse human problems of all time, there is no 100% way to keep from getting cancer. People have gotten cancer before they were 10 -- and after they were 90. Even fit people in their 20s and 30s can get cancer.

There are ways to live that are known to reduce the risks of certain cancers (like not smoking to lower the risk of throat and lung cancer). Eat healthier foods, nosh on some fruits and veggies in between the T-bone and the rib eye. Make your own fresh foods more often than eating out at the fast food places (which are all too available).

Of course, it's a bit challenging, but you do actually feel better. Work your way up to it and don't necessarily jump right in, like: "For my first exercise, I have signed up for the New York Marathon." More realistically, jog around a block or two a few times a week, then build on that. And always ask your doctor's opinion before beginning any food and/or exercise programs.

As for a more pragmatic source of protection, remember that Aflac offers a specified cancer policy, which is very affordable and pays you cash -- over and above any other coverage that you may already have. Unfortunately, cancer hits without any discrimination. Aflac knows that this is a family's nightmare, and we all probably know someone close who has had cancer; I certainly do. You can use your own doctors, too! I would like to talk with you if you are interested, and, if you employ people, I can also be of assistance to you and your employees -- with no cost to the employer. Please contact me at 646-522-7912 or through this blog. Aflac policies help people in need every day. I use them myself. Stay healthy!
