Factors Which Can Influence Women to Adopt Healthier Lifestyles

A woman who has any type of cancer is a factor that can influence healthier lifestyles by eating organic foods. Organic foods are free of chemicals and don’t cause cancer where as chemically sprayed foods can cause cancer. Women who have cancer or are in treatment of cancer don’t need stress. Stress can speed up cancer cells. Women who are smokers would need to adopt a healthier lifestyle by stopping because; if they continue they will get cancer. A woman in treatment with cancer would be foolish to keep smoking. Smoking while receiving treatment for cancer increases cancer cells which mean a quicker death. I think socioeconomics should be a factor to consider for trying to live a healthier lifestyle. If women don’t make changes in their lives, they may be faced with death. No changes in lifestyle results in death because, of the lack of money or health care. I think that if women eat better, exercise three times per week for 20 minutes a day, take 10-15 minutes to relax and forget about the day’s stressful events; women would live healthier longer lives.

As I started my treatment with breast cancer I was instructed to work with organic foods. I was also instructed to continue with exercise no matter how I felt. Smoking was not a problem for me because I never have smoked.My doctor recommended meditation, taking time to relax and release the stress. It has helped for the last eight years.
