Summary: The evidence is in: you can reduce cancer risk and support treatment by focusing on six key areas of health and wellness. Over the last decade, the scientific data on the link between lifestyle, environmental factors, and cancer risk has been accumulating at an accelerated rate.<br> It seems, every week, we learned something more that we can do as individuals. That decreases our risk of cancer and improves the likelihood of long term survival.<br> Dr. Lorenzo Cohen and Alison Jeffries, the coauthors of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anticancer-Living-Transform-Your-Health-ebook/dp/B074S6D1FN/&tag=authorhour-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anticancer Living<</a>/i>, believe in the mix of six. There are six areas that you can focus on, that will promote an optimal environment for health and wellbeing.<br> While each of those six plays an independent role, it’s the synergy that creates all six factors. If you’re wanting to either delay or prevent or recover from cancer, pay attention to this episode, because these six factors can radically transform your health.<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anticancer-Living-Transform-Your-Health-ebook/dp/B074S6D1FN/&tag=authorhour-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>Get Lorenzo and Alison’s new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Anticancer-Living-Transform-Your-Health-ebook/dp/B074S6D1FN/&tag=authorhour-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Anticancer Living</a> on Amazon.<br> Find out more at <a href="http://anticancer-living.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Anticancer-Living.com</a>.<br> <br> Alison Jeffries: You know, we started this book idea a long time ago, but we didn’t know it. We were a young family who had one child and what we started to see was people around us making choices of around health for their kids. We kind of reacted to and thought, now, do we want to be doing this?<br> We started questioning it, and Lorenzo would come home from work and talk about what the latest science was saying about lifestyle and cancer.<br> We started realizing that we wanted to do everything in our power to give our children as many tools in their tool box to live a healthy life.<br> So that was the start of our book. At first, we focused on our kids and then we got to a point where we realized, we weren’t doing it but we were doing it for our children.<br> We had to reassess and start making these changes ourselves. That was really the start of Anticancer Living.<br> <br> Why Cancer?<br> Charlie Hoehn: Why the concern with cancer? I mean, some parents get concerned over a bunch of things, why’d you focus on cancer?<br> Lorenzo Cohen: Well, I work at Indiana Cancer Center.One of the top cancer centers in the country and you know, I have the focus of course as a scientist on cancer.<br> But in fact, these same factors that we talk about, the mix of six line up for cardiovascular disease which includes heart disease and stroke for diabetes, for Alzheimer’s, for metabolic syndrome, essentially for the non-communicable diseases that are responsible for the majority of more biting and mortality in our world, cancer being one of the top killers.<br> Why we tend to focus on this is that there are things that we can do to reduce our risk. It personally kind of hit home when I found out my father at 69 was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and finding out that his father, my grandfather, was also diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer.<br> I was looking into the future and knowing that change needs to happen now if I want to reduce my risk.<br> What is it that I can do personally and for our children and for our community to reduce my risk as much as possible?<br> About Anticancer Living <br> Charlie Hoehn: Let’s begin with the big idea in your book. I’ve read other cancer books, what makes this book unique, what differentiates it?<br>
