Colon Cancer

Colon Health - What's in There?

It is widely recognized in the medical profession that a healthy & clean colon is one of the most important precursors to good health and that the great majority of body ailments and diseases originate in an acidic and dirty colon.

3 Reasons to Eat More Squash

Besides being a colorful side on your turkey plate, squash also comes loaded with good-for-you nutrients. Here are three good reasons to lap up that leftover squash:

1. Better blood pressure: Squash is rich in potassium, a mineral known for helping keep BP under control.

2. Healthier knees: Winter squash is high in beta cryptoxanthin and vitamin C, two nutrients credited with helping save joints. And here's one more thing about squash . .

3. Better appetite control: Squash is low in calories (as long as you don't douse it in butter and brown sugar) and high in fiber -- and together that can mean you eat fewer calories and feel fuller longer. The extra fiber can also be super helpful for sluggish bowels.

Raw Living Foods Continuing Education

To fully attain the benefits of the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle means more than eating raw fruits and veggies. You need to be aware of your protein and sugar intakes and your combination of foods, for example. Our lifestyle also includes detoxing, internal and colon cleansing, the proper type and amount of exercise, supplements of wheatgrass juice, fresh sprouts and easy ways to grow your own, energy soup and green smoothies, dehydrated foods, and how to deal with your cooked food addictions.

Even when you attend one of Dr. Ann Wigmore's hands-on educational centers, it's hard to retain all of the information. It's also challenging to stay Raw in a cooked food world.

For these reasons we created the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Lifestyle Home Study Program.

Lowering the risk of colon cancer

Two studies suggest that avoiding consumption of meat and foods high in carbohydrates can lower colon cancer risk. Results of a study published in the Jan. 12, 2004, issue of the British Journal of Cancer show that vegetarians were 15 percent less likely to develop colorectal cancer than participants who ate meat or fish. The study also found that those who ate more than five servings of fruit per week were more than 40 percent less likely than non-vegetarians to develop colon cancer.

The researchers, from Britain's University of Oxford, followed more than 10,000 people for 17 years. In the United States, a study that followed more than 38,000 women for about eight years showed that those whose diets included a lot of foods that rapidly increase blood sugar levels were nearly three times more likely to develop colorectal cancer than women who ate less of these foods. High glycemic-load foods include baked potatoes, pasta, refined flour products and sweets. Study results were published in the Feb. 4, 2004, issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
