4 Pillars of Cancer and 4 Pillars of Well-Being

The other day I came across an article by the title of “The Four Pillars of Cancer”. It is stated in the article that:


1. 50 percent caused by POOR DIET

2. 25 percent caused by TOXINS

3. 25 percent caused by INFECTION

4. Unknown percent caused by MENTAL STATE


How do you combat the 4 Pillars of cancer? Apply the 4 pillars of well-being:


1. Physical well-being

2. Mental well-being

3. Spiritual well-being

4. Emotional well-being


Physical well-being

• Get moving daily to improve your stamina, strength, and suppleness.

• Take breaks between tasks to avoid stress.

• Pamper your body with a spa treatment or massage.

• Unwind by listening to music or enjoying one of your favorite pastimes.

• Sleep well at night in order to regain your energy and repair damages done to your body after a stressful day.

• Do deep breathing exercises.

• Eat your breakfast every day and enjoy your meals by eating slowly.

• Eat less but more frequently.

• Avoid junk food and the three whites (white bread, white sugar, and white rice).

• Avoid food added with preservatives and additives.

• Avoid acidic foods and eat more alkaline foods.

• Give up smoking and drink moderately.

• Drink a lot of water every day.

• Drink green tea.

• Eat more fruits and vegetables.

By taking care of your body physically and eating right you will strengthen your immune system to guard yourself against infection and avoid toxins. However, your mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being are the other three pillars essential to fight against the unknown factor of cancer caused by a mental state.

• Look at the bright side of things.

• Live in the moment, don’t think of the past regrets or worry about the future.

• Exercise your brain by continuous learning.

• Physical exercise is not only good for your body but promotes your concentration and memory as well.

• Do not be discouraged by defeats but bounce back. Be resilient.


Spiritual well-being

• Do yoga or Tai Chi to meditate.

• Develop a sense of peace and calmness in your mind.

• A clear conscience will promote a peaceful soul.

• Donate to worthy causes.

• Do random acts of kindness.

• Make the best use of what you have and be contented.


Emotional well-being
