One healthy task at a time

Small, consistent changes win over big, dramatic overhauls.

A randomized controlled trial published in the European Journal of Social Psychology found that participants using a habit-based intervention focusing on ONE simple daily behavior lost 2kg compared to just 0.4kg in the control group after 8 weeks.

At 32 weeks, those sticking with single habit formation had lost an average of 3.8kg and maintained their results.

The key is repeating one self-chosen, health promoting behavior in response to a single, once-daily cue in a consistent context until it becomes automatic… This usually happens within 10 weeks.

Small habits you can start today (pick one):
• Drink a glass of water immediately when you wake up
• Take 3 deep breaths before every meal
• Walk for 2 minutes after lunch
• Write down one thing you’re grateful for before bed
• Do 5 bodyweight squats while your coffee brews

The magic isn’t in the habit itself - it’s in the consistency. Pick ONE. Same time, same place, every day. Let me know if you’ll try this 👇

The American Institute for Cancer Research guidelines tell us to “avoid processed meat” because “data do not show any level of intake that can confidently be shown not to be associated with risk.”

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published its report in 2018 on processed meat and concluded that products including bacon, ham, hot dogs, lunch meat, and sausage are cancer-causing, classifying processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen.

Critics questioned putting processed meat in the same carcinogenic classification as asbestos or to***co, but the classifications only relate to the strength of evidence that the agent causes cancer––not how much cancer it may cause. This does not mean that they are all equally dangerous.

So, how dangerous is processed meat? The relative risk of colore**al cancer is 18% for every 50 grams a day, which is about one hot dog, two breakfast links, or two slices of Canadian bacon or ham. A daily sandwich with one or two slices of baloney would increase colore**al cancer risk by 18%, and a half-pound pastrami on rye would bump it up more like 80%.

How does 18% increased cancer risk compare to other risky behaviors? Living with a smoker increases risk of lung cancer by 15%. So, breathing in secondhand smoke day in and day out increases lung cancer risk almost as much as eating a serving of processed meat day in and day out increases risk of colore**al cancer.

Colore**al cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for men and women combined, after lung cancer. So, if you don’t smoke, colon and re**al cancer may be your greatest cancer nemesis. We can drop our risk of getting it by about a fifth with a single dietary tweak: Cut a serving of processed meat out of our daily diet.
Not just colon and re**al cancers either. If you look at the science since the IARC decision was published, processed meat may also increase the risk of prostate cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

Golden Rule #5 para sa Kalusugan ng Bato: Uminom ng Tamang Dami ng Tubig!

Uminom ng sapat na tubig!

Ugaliing ang pag-inom ng 8 baso ng tubig araw-araw — mas marami kung tag-init lalo na dito sa Pinas! Pero kung may sakit sa puso o bato, tanungin si Doc kung gaano karami.
