Anticancer Living

Transform Your Life and Health with the Mix of Six

De: Lorenzo Cohen PhD, Alison Jefferies MEd

Narrado por: Mark Deakins

The evidence is in: You can reduce cancer risk and support treatment by focusing on six key areas of health and wellness.

The scientific data on the link between lifestyle, environmental factors, and cancer risk has been accumulating at an accelerated rate over the past decade: Every week, we learn something more that we can do as individuals to decrease the risk of cancer and improve the likelihood of long-term survival. Many of us - patients and doctors included - do not realize that changes in our daily choices and habits can improve quality of life, increase the chances of survival, and aid in the healing process for those with a diagnosis. These ideas were pioneered in David Servan-Schreiber’s Anticancer: A New Way of Life and became the basis for a research study developed by Lorenzo Cohen and Servan-Schreiber at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Introducing the concept of the "Mix of Six", Cohen and Alison Jefferies make an informed case that building social and emotional support; managing stress; improving sleep, exercise, and diet; and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins work together to promote an optimal environment for health and well-being. While each plays an independent role, the synergy created by all six factors can radically transform health, delay or prevent many cancers, support conventional treatments, and significantly improve quality of life - as many testimonies and stories of those in the anticancer community eloquently show.

Anticancer Living provides an accessible, prescriptive guide to wellness based on the latest scientific findings and clinical trials, and it showcases the community of doctors, researchers, caregivers, and patients who have been inspired to create change.

*Includes a Bonus PDF with charts, graphs, chapter summaries, and appendices.

excellent life advice

I recommend this audiobook to everyone as a guide to a healthy, fulfilled life full of meaning. It is way up there as one of my favorite listens, right along with The Body Keeps the Score. It's not preachy or unrealistic but full of helpful tidbits that are easy to implement including ways to get in extra steps and increase nutrition while traveling and the importance of synergy. I thought I was good on nutrition but didn't realize the effects of good nutrition are greatly diminished by not also reducing my stress levels. It talks about the importance of having a plan mapped out on how to get back to your schedule if you "relapse." Studies and case studies are mentioned throughout. Listening to it was comforting.

Tons of valuable information!

Must Read (Listen)

I wish that this was required reading. We have ALL been touched by cancer. It's more a matter of "when" not "if". Either ourselves, or someone we love. Or several someones. This is the most thorough book I have read or listened to regarding cancer treatment, prevention, and survival. Cohen's "mix of six" includes social/emotional support, stress management, sleep quality, exercise, diet and exposure to environmental toxins. He provides many case studies of actual cancer survivors. This book was very informative and comforting. I highly recommend, whether you are dealing with cancer, hoping to prevent cancer, or have a loved one who has been diagnosed.
