Episode Summary:
I am passionate about sharing this topic with people who are eager to ensure they reach and sustain optimal health! According to a study conducted in 2008 by M.D Anderson Cancer Center researchers, 90-95% of all cancer cases are due to lifestyle and environmental factors.
As quick definition of Cancer refers to a group of related diseases where some of the body’s cells become abnormal, begin to unceasingly divide, and eventually enter into surrounding tissues.
This can start almost anywhere within the body. The abnormal cells that would have otherwise died off, survive, multiply, and initiate the growth of tumors.
