Lower Your Risk

Ok, I know that sometimes cancer just happens no matter how diligent you are at following prevention guidelines. However, I wanted to share this link with you to encourage you to think about it. It is the same message for so many health issues: eat right, exercise, maintain a healthy weight.

I must say I didn’t enjoy reading the part about sitting. I have been doing a lot of sitting the last several years due to surgeries and cancer treatment. I must say over the last several months I have enjoyed long showers, straightening up the house, cleaning cupboards, dusting the CD collection, ironing, laundry—all for the chance to stand up!

“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” (I Corinthians 6:19b-20) Perhaps this verse is an even greater incentive to steward our bodies well than cancer prevention.

Grace to you,
