Recent Studies Reveal How Our Bodies Combat Disease
Summary:
Obesity Linked to Lower Colorectal Cancer Survival RatesRecent research highlights that individuals with central obesity and a sedentary lifestyle have reduced chances of surviving colorectal cancer.
"We have demonstrated that modifiable lifestyle factors, known to decrease the incidence of colorectal cancer, also reduce mortality in diagnosed cases," said Dr. Andrew M. M. Haydon. This reinforces the importance of promoting healthy living.
Key Findings:
1. Impact of Lifestyle on Colorectal Cancer:Dr. Andrew Haydon, from Monash Medical School in Melbourne, analyzed data from over 40,000 colorectal cancer patients diagnosed between 1990 and 1994. Patients engaging in regular exercise prior to their diagnosis had a 31% higher survival rate compared to those who were inactive. Specifically, 73% of active individuals survived at least five years, compared to 61% of those who were inactive. This survival boost is comparable to the effects of add-on chemotherapy. Higher body fat and waist circumference were linked to worse outcomes.
2. Short-Term Sexual Health Improvements Post-Prostate Cancer Treatment:
Men treated for prostate cancer often face sexual dysfunction. A study of 84 survivors examined the effect of post-treatment interventions like counseling. Many participants who completed four therapy sessions reported better sexual functioning three months later. The therapy improved communication and explored ED treatment options, increasing Viagra usage. However, benefits diminished after six months as couples reverted to old habits.
3. Vitamin D’s Role in Cancer Prevention:
A team from the San Diego Moores Cancer Center, led by Dr. Cedric Garland, associated Vitamin D deficiency with various cancers. They advocate for increased Vitamin D intake through diet or supplements, especially for those in northern latitudes and African Americans, due to lower natural Vitamin D production. Excessive Vitamin D can harm the liver and kidneys, but the natural form (D3) is produced via sunlight exposure and found in foods like oily fish, margarine, and meat.
4. Resveratrol in Grapes Alleviates Joint Pain:
The American College of Rheumatology found that resveratrol, present in red wine, may prevent cartilage damage in osteoarthritis and enhance recovery. As a powerful antioxidant, it reduces inflammation-causing chemicals by 50-90% and boosts proteins critical for joint health. Red wine also contains polyphenols that lower bad LDL cholesterol and increase good HDL cholesterol. Additionally, its antioxidants, tannin, and resveratrol, may protect against cancer and slow tumor growth.
These findings emphasize the protective role of lifestyle choices and dietary elements in battling diseases like cancer and osteoarthritis.
