Breast cancer is the presence of mutated cells in the breast tissues, which is primarily due to genetic and environmental factors. Breast cancer may present itself as a metastatic disease that has the potential to spread to other parts of the body. Common sites of metastasis include bone, liver, lung and brain. This can be accompanied with unexplained weight loss, fever, chills, joint pain and jaundice. Early stages of breast cancer does not present any symp-toms, and therefore it is vital to undergo regular mammogram checks and treat any abnormalities early.
• Age• Family history of breast cancer• History of presence of ovarian cancer• Irregular menstruation• Late menopause• Had hormone replacement therapy• Alcohol consumption• Giving birth after the age of 30
Breast Cancer
Risk Factors Clinical Symptoms
• Painless lumps• Unusual discharge from the nipple• Persistent rash around the nipple• Retracted nipples• Swollen or thickened skin• Change in overall shape of the breast

Nutritional Recommendations:
• Avoid milk and dairy products• Increase intake of anticarcinogenic foods(sweet potato, green tea, etc)• Increase fiber(vegetables, seeds, nuts, whole grains) intake• Increase intake of antioxidative fruits(pineapples, cherries, grapes, plums)• Increase intake of onions and garlic • Increase intake of fish(salmon, tuna)• Increase intake of cruciferous vegetables(cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts)• Drink spring or filter water• Opt for organic food/meat products• Add longan and wild yam in your diet • Limit the intake of royal jelly and honey
Hypothyroidism is a condition whereby the underactive thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones to meet the body's needs, thus slowing down the body's functions — primarily homeostasis and metabolism.
• Female gender• Family history of hypothyroidism• Older age• History with thyroid problem• History of other autoimmune diseases• Pregnant or delivered a baby within the past six months
Hypothyroidism
Prevention
Risk Factors Symptoms
• Fatigue and sluggishness • Weight gain • Increased sensitivity to cold • Dry hair and hair loss• Swollen tongue • Irregular menstrual periods • Depression

Research has shown that goitrogens (found in broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips) and isoflavones(found in soy), are potentially dangerous compounds which increases the risk of contracting hypothyroidism. Goitrogens is capable of disrupting the thyroid’s functionality of utilizing iodine, and therefore it is highly recommended to cook cruciferous vegetables prior to consumption, and limit them to 5 ounces a day. High fiber diets, fatty foods, caffeine, isoflavones and gluten(found in bread, pasta, rice) are also capable of disrupting the absorption of thyroid medications. Higher doses of thyroid medication is recommended if adopting a high fiber diet.
Alcohol has a toxic effect on the thyroid glands and can cause havoc in the regulation of thyroid hormone levels in the body and suppresses the thyroid’s ability to produce hormones. It is highly recommended to stay away from alcohol.

Hypothyroidism
Recommended Herbs for Hypothyroidism Black Cohosh is especially good for treating menstrual problems associated with hypothyroidism. It's a popular treatment for menopausal women, treats symptoms of PMS and may help with infertility. Kelp is sometimes given to people with hypothyroidism because iodine defi-ciency is linked to the disorder in some parts of the world.St. John's Wort could be helpful if you suffer from depression, a symptom that often accompanies low thyroid function.Cayenne supplements can help with blood circulation by strengthening the heart. An improvement in circulation can alleviate the cold extremities that are common with hypothyroidism. Fenugreek, longan, wild yam, brussel sprouts and broccoli are also helpful to balance the level of estrogen. Too high of estrogen can cause hypothyroidism.
Food and Herbs to AvoidSome studies indicate that there are certain foods and herbs that should be limited or avoided if you have hypothyroidism, such as tofu, soy milk, dairy products and meats.Ginseng, astragalus, bamboo, burdock, echinacea, ginger and lemon balm are among the herbs that you should avoid in the early stages of hypothyroidism.

Recommendations:
• Reduce the frequency of taking soy products, honey, royal jelly, chicken and dairy products as they are estrogen donors.• Ensure the proper intake of iodine which is found in iodized salt, kelp and seaweed to enhance the thyroid health. • Replace your refined salt with iodized salt.
Lung cancer begins in the tissues of the lungs, when there is a mutation in the cells lining the air passages which cause excessive cell growth responsible for tumor development.
Symptoms• Cough that worsens overtime • Chest pain • Coughing up blood • Shortness of breath• Loss of appetite or weight loss • Fatigue• Headache

A wide aspect of elements contributing to this condition involves one’s medical history, smoking habits, exposure to environmental and occupational substances, diet, and family history of lung cancer. To target prevention, these aspects have to be addressed in order to minimize the risk of developing lung cancer.
EnvironmentThe first step to prevent lung cancer is to evaluate your environment and the air quality of your vicinity. It is advisable to avoid living near factories, incinerators, laboratories, and construction workplaces. Family members and friends who smoke should be avoided as well. This is to minimize exposure to second-hand smoke, toxic fumes, carcinogens and radon gas — a byproduct caused by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water.
LifestyleAvoid smoking and vaping. Regular exercise is highly recommended as it also plays a role in cancer prevention as the body’s immune system is strengthened. If possible, choose to exercise at natural habitats such as a forest or beach. It is good for the body to be exposed to negative-ions. Lastly, sleeping early and adequately helps the body to recover to its optimum as it goes through innate detoxing in a state of rest.
DietEat a diet packed with fruits and vegetables. Food sources of vitamins and nutrients are best. Taking probiotics and antioxidant supplements help too. Avoid taking exces-sive antibiotics as it will weaken the body’s immune system, and drink more tea as it provides polyphenols and antioxidants that can help combat against free-radicals.

Lung Cancer
Research has proven that the consumption of hydrogen water improves quality of life, immunity and longevity. Hydrogen has an antioxidant effect that neutralizes over-reacti-ve oxygen molecules to produce a stable compound— water. Over-reactive oxygen molecules are produced when free oxygen molecules bind to electrons that were leaked out of the cell’s powerhouse— mitochondria, potentially damage cells and genes which ultimately contribute to detrimental conditions, diseases and aging. Hydrogen is also capable of reducing inflammation, strengthening cell membranes, promoting fat metabolism and regulating gene expressions. Drinking hydrogen water is highly recommended to secure these health benefits.
Recommendations:
• Avoid active or passive smoking.• Avoid contact with harmful aerosol — mosquito coils incense, perfume, sawn wood powder, dust, coal, gas and other volatile organic compounds.• Prevent hazardous fumes from the kitchen — avoid working in the kitchen for long hours as cooking fumes is damaging to the lungs.• Aerobic or breathing exercise is of utmost importance in keeping the lungs healthy.• Avoid working as a hair-stylist, a chef or a construction worker to avoid occu-pational hazards. • Foods such as pears, melon, bird nest, white fungus, luo hanguo and cordyceps are good for the lungs.• Avoid lateral sleeping position to protect the lungs.• Supplementing Vitamin C, Echinacea, Manuka honey and Propolis is recommen-ded.• Exercising regularly is very important to keep the lungs vibrant and healthy.

Colon cancer begins as intestinal polyps that usually form in the inner lining of the large intestine, which can progress into a cancerous tumor that invade, replace and destroy normal cells. It can also spread to other areas of the body in severe cases. Risk factors include genetics, age, family history, environment, diet, and lifestyle. Having certain diseases or conditions may place people at higher risk for colon cancer, these include those who have ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, and those with a history of breast, uterine or ovarian cancer.
• Older age• Genetics• Family history of colon cancer• Exposure to radiation• Sedentary lifestyle• High fat diet• Alcohol consumption
Colon Cancer
Risk Factors Clinical Symptoms
• Changes in bowel habits• Frequently feel full or bloated• Unexplained weight loss• Blood in the stool• Fatigue• Nausea

Colon Cancer
Prevention
DietIn order to prevent colon cancer, it is vital to improve one’s diet and food choices. This is to prevent the development of intestinal polyps and excessive weight gain. A cleaner diet can be achieved by taking more fruits and vegetables, drinking adequate water, limiting fat intake and increasing fiber and probiotics intake for optimal digestion. Supplementing with additional calcium, folate and vitamin D has shown to decrease colon cancer risk as well.

Recommendations:
• Addressing small polyps before they become cancerous• Avoid diets high in fat, alcohol, protein, calories, red and white meat• Use of aspirin may decrease the risk of colon cancer• Increase probiotic intake— good bacteria helps keep bad bacteria at bay• Consume apple cider vinegar— beneficial to intestinal flora• Eat foods rich in fiber
Brain cancer is the presence of a tumor caused by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of the brain cells in the brain. There are two types of cancer tumors — benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous).
Risk Factors• Exposure to excessive radiation• Family history of brain tumors• Race — Caucasians have a higher risk• Age
Cerebral Cancer
Symptoms• New onset or change in patterns of headaches• Headaches that worsens overtime• Nausea or vomiting• Visual/speech/hearing problems• Gradual loss of sensation in limbs• Difficulty with balance• Personality/behavior changes• Seizures
• Quit smoking and avoid second-hand smoke• Limit or avoid alcohol• Adopt a healthy diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables• Avoid carcinogenic foods such as grilled or barbequed meats• Maintain a healthy weight • Regular exercise

Prevention
Excessive free radicals, oxidants and radiation are the primary environmental factors that can cause brain tumor. If possible, avoid working in offices where many electronics and computers are stationed. Electronics produces positive ions that can cause oxidative effects to the body. When sleeping at night, it is recommended to turn off all electronics. When answering a phone call, it is better to use an earpiece than to place the phone at the ears. Limit screen time of phone, TV, computers and tablets. When exercising, it is better to do it at a beach or forest where there is a higher concentration of negative ions in the environment.
Nutritional Recommendations: Supplement with antioxidants such as Vitamin A, C, E, Selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Omega 3 Oil, Propolis and Walnuts
Stomach ulcers are sores in the stomach lining caused by the inadequacy of protective mucus responsible for the protection against digestive juice. This usually happens when there is an imbalance between the secretion of stomach acid and the natural defenses(mucosal), presence of H.Pylori bacteria, or an excessive use of anti-inflammatory drugs(aspirin, NSAIDs).
Stomach Ulcer
Prevention
Diet• Limit intake of spice — Spice lowers the acidity of the stomach, which can damage the stomach lining.• Avoid salty foods and other processed/canned foods — Processed foods are high in sodium, which can increase the growth of H.pylori.• Choosing healthier options — Consume more fruits and vegetables, and reduce intake of meat.• Avoid eating too much high-fiber food at once — This is to avoid any additional stress on the stomach and the digestive system.• Drink less coffee, caffeinated drinks and carbonated drinks — Acidic beverages can contribute to the thinning of the stomach lining. Caffeine encourages the production of stomach acid, which can be detrimental in the long term.• Avoid or reduce intake of charred meats — Charred meats(barbecued, grilled and burnt meats) are high in carcinogens, which can cause molecular damage to the cells of the stomach lining.• Staying hydrated — Water helps to lower stomach acidity, which reduces the stress on the stomach lining.
Clinical Symptoms• Weight loss• Nausea or vomiting• Bloating• Acid reflux• Heartburn• Loss of appetite

Stomach Ulcer
MedicationAvoid the use of NSAIDs if possible. Those who require NSAID treatment for other conditions can replace NSAIDs with other stomach-friendly medications and proton pump inhibitors.
Lifestyle• Eat smaller meals throughout the day. This helps prevent overeating and additional stress to the digestive system.• Quit smoking and avoid/limit alcohol intake.• Chew food thoroughly before swallowing. This reduces the stress on the stomach and improves the transition of food through the digestive system.• Treat related diseases(gastric ulcers, polyps, viral infection such as H.pylori) early to avoid malignancy and complications.• Exercise regularly — This is to strengthen the body’s immune system, and promotes detoxification.

Nutritional Recommendations:
• Supplement with probiotics, digestive enzymes, adequate fiber and alkaline foods• Supplement with additional antioxidant supplements — Vit A, C, E, selenium• Increase intake of Hawthorn berries which improves digestion• Consume Chamomile tea — a digestive remedy for its anti-inflammatory effects• Consume more papaya fruit as it is nourishes the stomach • Consume more milk — protects mucus lining of the stomach
Osteoarthritis is a renowned joint disorder that causes inflammation in the joints, resulting in breakdown and gradual loss of joint cartilage. As the protective cartilage wears off, pain and discomfort will be expe-rienced along with movement. By staying active, maintaining a healthy weight and eating healthy, we can slow the progression of the disease and help improve joint functions.

Osteoarthritis
v
Prevention
Lifestyle• Exercise• Lose weight• Avoid alcohol and smoking• Using assistive devices(knee brace, wrist wraps) during physical activity
DietAnti-inflammatory foods that contains vitamin A, C and E can reduce damage to the joints. Those with osteoarthritis should aim to consume at least 1 portion of oily fish(sardines, mackerel, salmon, fresh tuna) per week, as they contain omega-3 oils and polyunsaturated fats that have anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to oily fish, it is recommended to consume salads with extra virgin olive oil as they contain high levels of oleocanthal which have similar properties to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Dark leafy greens(found in spinach, kale, chard) should be consumed daily as they are rich in vitamin D, antioxidants and phytochemicals, boosting calcium absorp-tion and the body’s immunity. Broccoli contains sulforaphane that is able to reduce the progression of osteoarthritis. Polyphenols found in green tea can reduce inflammation and reduce the rate of cartilage damage. Garlic is recommended as it contains diallyl disulfide — a compound that combat against enzymes in the body that damages the cartilage.
A mixture of avocado and soybean oils is a widely used remedy in Europe to treat osteoarthritis. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and can slow down or prevent joint damage.
Nutritional Recommendations:
• Glucosamine & Chondroitin, Omega-3 oil, ginger and turmeric• Reduce the intake of legumes, peanuts, red meats, and anchovies• Additional supplementation that incorporates vitamin A, C and E

Diabetes is a chronic condition that impairs the body’s ability to metabolize glucose, our primary source of fuel. Type II diabetes can be caused by either low production of insulin hormones for the regulation of blood sugar levels, or the body’s resistance to the effects of insulin.
This condition eventually exhaust the pancreas, resulting in a decrease in the production of insulin hormone, causing higher blood sugar levels.There is no cure for this condition, but adopting a positive lifestyle changes has shown to help manage the condition. The cornerstone of Type II diabetes management is by adopting a healthy diet, regular physical activityand maintaining a healthy body weight.
Risk Factors
• Age• Being overweight• Physical inactivity• Family history• Race — Caucasians are less susceptible • Having polycystic overian syndrome
Type II Diabetes

Nutritional Recommendations:
• Avoid fish oil supplements that contains para-aminobenzoic acid• Avoid salt and white flour products• Do not take extremely large doses of vitamins B1, B3 and C• Propolis, baby bittergourd and fenugreek helps lower blood sugar levels• Take more chromium-rich foods(wheat germ, cabbage, tomato, onion, etc)• Take more selenium-rich foods(mushrooms, algae foods, etc)• Take more zinc-rich foods(walnut, apricot, chestnut, hazelnut, etc)
Heart failure does not mean that the heart has stopped or is about to stop working. It means that the heart is not able to pump enough blood throughout the body due to high blood pressure or narrowed arteries in the heart. The best way to prevent heart failure is to control risk factors and conditions that lead to heart failure, such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or obesity. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, having adequate sleep, reducing salt in your diet, managing stress, treating depression and losing excess weight can improve your quality of life.
Symptoms• Chest pain • Fatigue and weakness• Rapid or irregular heartbeat• Shortness of breath(dyspnea)• Reduced ability to exercise• Persistent cough • Swelling in your abdomen, legs and feet
Heart Failure
Risk Factors
• High blood pressure. Your heart works harder if your blood pressure is high. • Coronary artery disease. Narrowed arteries limit the heart's supply of oxy-gen-rich blood, resulting in weakened heart muscle.• Heart attack. Damage to your heart muscle from a heart attack may mean your heart can no longer pump as well as it should.• Irregular heartbeats. These abnormal rhythms can create extra work for your heart, weakening the heart muscle.• Diabetes. Diabetes increases your risk of high blood pressure and coronary artery disease.• Sleep apnea. The inability to breathe properly at night results in low blood oxygen levels and increased risk of abnormal heart rhythms.• Congenital heart defects. Some people who develop heart failure were born with structural heart defects.• Viruses. A viral infection may have damaged your heart muscle.• Alcohol use. Drinking too much alcohol can weaken the heart muscle.• Kidney conditions. Kidney damage can lead to high blood pressure and fluid retention.

Heart Failure
Prevention
Recommendations:
• Take high-fiber foods, such as chives, Indian lettuce, garlic leaves, celery, etc • Eat foods rich in lecithin such as egg yolks, soybeans, algae, fish brain, sesame, yam, mushrooms, etc• Take fruits before meals, chew food thoroughly during meals and do not gobble • Abstain from alcohol
SupplementationCoQ10, Vitamins B complex, Calcium and magnesium, L-carnitine, and Omega 3 fatty acids are essential in keeping the heart healthy.

Dietary Guidance Take at least 3 meals a day at specific fixed time brackets to avoid unnecessary grazing or snacking throughout the day.
Self-monitoringMeasure pulse and heart rate so as to monitor disease progress. Standard ventricular rates for rest and action in atrial fibrillation are 60-80 times/min and 90-115times/min, respectively, periodically check electrocardiograph (ECG) to monitor the arrhythmia. Patients with atrial fibrillation tend to have prodromal symptoms such as heart palpita-tions and increased “missing pulse” should go for timely treatment.
Diet• A heart-healthy diet is rich in:• Vegetables and fruits• Whole grains and high-fiber foods• Lean meats and poultry• Fish (at least twice a week)• Fat-free or 1 percent fat dairy products
A heart-healthy diet is low in:• Saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol• Salt and other forms of sodium
