Preventing Cancer Naturally - Top 10 tips

Cancer is on the up everywhere you look. More and more of my closest loved ones are being diagnosed with this awful disease and I am keen to share some tips that I have picked up on how to avoid cancer as naturally as possible.

The Environmental Working Group recently found that children are born "pre-polluted" with nearly 300 industrial chemicals, pesticides and contaminants that have been found to cause cancer in lab studies or in people.

1. Filter your tap water: tap water can contain carcinogens such as arsenic, chromium, and chemical byproducts that form when water is disinfected. So invest in a reverse osmosis filter or a simple tap mounted carbon filter

2. Avoid Stain proofing and Non stick coatings such as Scotch guard and Teflon. These are often found in carpets, clothing, and packaged foods

3. Use natural cleaning products in the house and natural furnishings wherever possible such as natural mattresses. Regular furniture especially in the UK requires the use of heavy duty fire proofing chemicals

4. Prevent Sun Damage use a natural sunscreen, wear a hat, stay in the shade, and avoid over exposing yourself and especially protect young children

5. Reduce Diary and Fatty meats – pesticides, artificial hormones, dioxins, and PCB’s all accumulate in the diary and meats we eat. Where possible eat organic alternatives, soya milk is excellent as are lean organic meats and fish

6. Try and eat organic fruits and veg that is as close to locally grown as possible

7. Avoid unnecessary exposure to BPA: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic oestrogen found in some hard plastic water bottles, canned infant formula, and canned foods. Some of these chemicals cause cancer in lab studies. To avoid them, eat fewer canned foods, breast feed your baby or use powdered formula, and choose bottles free of BPA.

8. Avoid toxins in your toiletries : when shopping buy natural skincare products that do not contain anything with PEG or ingredients ending in the letters – eth

9. Avoid drinking excess alcohol regularly

10. Take regular exercise and make time to relax. Change your mental attitude to a more positive one and reduce stress in your life NOW!

Gamarde - The best all natural sunscreen without chemicals

With summer here, sunscreens are flying off the shelves, but natural skincare product lovers will know that the chemicals lurking in sun protection lotion can also leave you vulnerable to skin damage.

Only recently, May 2010 to be exact, the Environmental Working Group reported the results of a year long study which found that a common sunscreen ingredient called retinal palmitate caused tumours and lesions to develop 21% faster in lab animals.

With consumers applying sunscreen that contains this to their skin on a frequent daily basis during the summer months and sometimes all year round in hot countries, this news is of obvious concern!

Gamarde all natural sunscreens and self tanning fluids do not contain any harmful chemicals such as retinal palmitate. Gamarde have produced a mineral sunscreen range that uses natural zinc oxide minerals to protect from the sun combined with other natural and organic ingredients such as Argan Oil and shea butter that nourish and protect the skin. With Spf factor 10, 15 and 50 and self tanning fluid the range protects against harmful UVB, UVA, UVC and IR rays, by utilising natural mineral sunscreens and filters naturally present in nature and the epidermis.

Their exclusive formulas leave no white mark traces on the skin. Which is great news if you hate looking grey! Other key ingredients include thermal spring water from the Gamarde springs, which combined with the nourishing oils and butters, nourish the skin and provide high antioxidant protection to prevent premature aging.

Gamarde natural sunscreen also contains NO Parabens, Phenoxyethanol, synthetic colouring agents, PEG’s GMO’s and are Not tested on Animals. All Cosmetique Bio Certified !! Great value, amazing results, luxury performance!!
