Intense Exercise May Cut Risk of Cancer Death
Do you exercise regularly and intensely? The following article may just provide the impetus for you to exercise more…

PARIS : Men who regularly do heart-pounding exercise are less likely to develop cancer, according to a study released Tuesday.
The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that the key factor in the reduced risk of cancer was a higher rate of oxygen consumption.
A team of researchers from the universities of Kuopio and Oulu in Finland studied the leisure-time physical activity over a 12-month period of 2,560 men between 42 and 61 years old with no history of cancer.
Over an average follow-up period of 16 years, 181 of the subjects died from cancer, mostly of the stomach or intestines, lungs, prostate and brain.
Using an intensity scale for physical exercise that measured “metabolic units” of oxygen consumption, the scientists found that the men who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day were half as likely to get cancer as those who did not.
The sharpest reductions occurred in gastrointenstinal and lung cancers, and held true even when other factors – age, alcohol consumption, smoking, weight – were taken into account.
“The intensity of leisure-time physical activity should be at least moderate so that beneficial effect … for reducing overall cancer mortality can be achieved,” the researchers conclude.

In the olden days, men and women used to walk for miles just to look for food. But in this day and age of internet, 3G phones, television etc, many of us either are too busy with work or lead too much a sedentary lifestyle.
This study is a timely reminder to us to Take Control of Our Health! TNJ will certainly help in recovering from an intense exercise program. For more info on TNJ and Sports Performance, check out this audio teleseminar by Dr Williams.

“Out of Difficulties Make Miracles!”
Are you facing some challenges in your life right now?
I am reminded of a poem titled, “Don’t You Quit”. Here’s the poem…
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
Whe he might have captured the victor’s cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
So face each challenge head-on, and Make Miracles Out of Each Difficulty!
