(Urgent!) Don’t let cancer claim your grandchildren

If you’ve noticed cancer affecting younger victims more often, you’re sadly not wrong.

Between 1990 and 2019, global cases of early-onset cancer (EOC)—when you’re diagnosed under the age of 50—surged by a staggering 79.1 percent.

That’s a sobering statistic. Let’s unpack why this is happening…

Educate our younger generations

I’m always telling you that prevention is the best medicine—especially when it comes to cancer.

But let me be clear…

Preventing cancer isn’t something to consider when you’re 40 or 50. It’s a conversation we need to have much earlier, with children.

And no, the conversation doesn’t need to be scary.

We need to encourage young people, starting at a early age, to take active steps to prevent disease. And it starts with teaching them to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

After all, the choices we make absolutely influence disease risk. And usually, that begins and ends with diet.

See, most early-onset cancers affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. (Learn about obesity-related cancer by clicking here.)

That alone underscores the importance of nourishing your gut microbiome.

We know our food supply is a big piece of this puzzle. Big Chemical has practically poisoned us beyond repair while Big Food (and therefore, Big Pharma) rake in the dough.

And if we don’t put an end to this soon, we’ll be losing the battle for generations to come! I mean, just look at the data…

Facts don’t lie

Data shows colorectal cancer rates have been climbing since the 1950s, with early-onset cases rising steadily since the1990s.

What happened?

It began with a generation exposed to sudden lifestyle changes and a surge in convenience foods. Not to mention numerous environmental factors.

That includes unhealthy dietary habits and sedentary behavior, both of which contribute to excess weight and poor gut health.

Of course, big corporations are only going to start listening when enough of us demand change. But instead, we make excuses. We laugh about our weight. And we encourage each other to indulge just a little too much. But those aren’t statements of health.

Rather, those behaviors have, plain and simple, contributed to an epidemic of early-onset cancer. And who knows what great illnesses will be visited upon us next, starting at a young age.

At the very least, commit to cleaning up your diet. Lead by example, especially when you’re around your children and grandchildren.

Choose healthy, whole foods—like grass-fed and -finished meat, wild-caught fish and seafood, organic seasonal produce, healthy fats from nuts, seeds, and eggs, and more.
