The immediate implementation of funded nutritional education is absolutely necessary, which not only teaches people about good eating habits, but also the necessity of taking responsibility of their own health. Nutritional education, however, should also relay the potential hazards of food products and dietary supplements as well. A natural product does not mean that it is safe. There are food products that can interact with drugs and dietary supplements, leading to very dangerous side effects. Additionally, dietary supplements are not properly regulated by the government and because of this; these products can be sold without any proof of safety. Thus it will also be essential to create a dialogue with your healthcare provider, allowing for a safe treatment plan that will make you and your physician happy.
One such initiative is the need for an immediate implementation of funded nutritional education. It is estimated that by adopting a healthy life style, which includes increased exercise, decreased stress and as well as a balanced diet, approximately thirty percent of all cancers will be prevented. For this reason, along with increased frustration over westernized chemotherapies, is in part, why dietary supplements and various natural chemo-preventative agents have gained such popularity in the US and the world as a whole for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Besides the brief introduction of the food pyramid during elementary school, and the sporadic commercial about the benefits of eating fresh fruit and vegetables, the concept of nutrition education does not exist in our society. Cheap processed meals have replaced fresh food and produce. Fast-food restaurants have become a surrogate for the kitchen and a well-cooked meal.
Why? Nutrition simply is not profitable. Our health is not profitable. Even our government has paid farmers not to grow crops, which ultimately increases the cost of fresh vegetables, making it increasingly difficult for hardworking people to afford good food. And the repercussions of our adopted diet habits are quite noticeable with higher rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
The "Cancer Patient Bill of Rights" is a petition developed at Cancer.ext.com, an online social cancer patient support network, that strives to introduce fifteen separate initiatives to Congress which are necessary to develop proper cancer treatments with the goal of improving survival rates and/or and quality of life.
