10 Effective Ways to Ditch the 'CRAB' 

You would never invite a thief into your house. So why would you allow thoughts that steal your joy to take up residence in your mind?

The stress drop that falls down the brim of one’s capacity to endure becomes ‘morbid’. Contact with a constant( chronic), hammer like, intense , monotonous  ‘IRRITANT’  in one’s life, is actually ‘carcinogenic’.

If these ‘stress drops’ had been emptied from time to time, there would be‘no spill’.

Practically, it may be of any nature and form.

It could be smoke,smoking,exposure to sunlight,chewing betel nut & tobacco, eating foods with high fats & low fibre, radiations,  painkillers etc.as well as  threat to one’s identity, security, expression, desire,love,life, etc.  

Here ‘chronicity & intensity’ of  relation with the ‘irritant’ matters! Holding a glass of water for a minute is okay ,but when asked to hold for hours……..?

Inherited risk factors too, can’t be ignored but shouldn’t we try not to trigger?

Well, regular de-stressing & detoxification will disallow the ‘vessel’ of toxins to fill up to the brim. Let us nullify such irritants by all possible healthy means.

1. Detoxify regularly 

Wash away the chemical toxins .Balance the ‘chakra’ through Reiki & Pranic Healing. Take Homoeopathic organ detox medicines periodically. Get Panchkarma procedures of body cleansing and ‘dosha’ balancing done seasonally. Hydrotherapy helps the colon, kidneys and lymphatic system flush out metabolic waste & other unwanted toxins.               


2. Regular de stressing

Flush out the emotional toxins either daily or at least weekly or monthly. Break out of your boredom!Play  and giggle with a kids, practice charity, since  ‘art of giving’ brings happiness to both the giver & receiver , go out for an adventurous trip, pour out heart’s content to a friend . Pump in potent anti carcinogens. Make music a must- hum a bit and sing away the sorrows , dance away the distress, tap the power of flowers which  is generally underestimated, try a hands on hobby. 

Go for ‘Auricular Acupuncture’ detox to release blocked energy, up –beat mood through release of ‘endorphin’, the ‘feel good’ chemicals. Meet your ‘Counselor’ to help you sort  out the stress issues and untangle your problems objectively.

3. Avoid potent carcinogens

Using plastic ware for eating; storing, reheating, drinking should be strictly avoided.  Non stick cookware of inferior standards, aluminium ware, and improper refrigeration of cooked food & reheating, using chemical loaded sanitary napkins. Prolonged use of known carcinogens disturbs the integrity of organs & their harmonious functions. Tobacco chewing, alcohol, smoking, non vegetarian food, packaged and hotel food (mostly due to recycled oil) , eating stale food is undesirable.

4. Too much is too much

Don’t hold angst in for too long, share it with friends, speak out your irritation.When ‘you’ fail to revolt to some situation for a long time, ‘your body’ will show the revolt i.e. it will lose its governance and cancer cells seek a chance to grow & multiply their territories indiscriminately. Thus disturbing the harmony of our original body systems. The reins are being taken over! So, give your desires a proper vent, don’t suppress! Not just houses but our minds also need proper ventilation! 

Let in fresh thoughts. Let out the long standing nagging thoughts of insecurity, dissatisfaction, hatred, jealousy, egotism. Stop asking constantly ‘why me only?’ which only puts you on crossroads of life & death. 

Let your ego go. Let go trivial issues, change the life’s perspective, see the glass half full than half empty. It’s some time okay to be imperfect. Relax. Resign to the ‘too unrealistic’ targets you are tired of achieving.Spirituality stabilises our thoughts. Prayers are powerful ; Meditate; introspect to know what and where is it going  wrong & how to overcome it. Give affirmations about what good you want to achieve.

5. Stay super oxygenated

Do ‘Pranayam’ in morning sunlight. By breathing in and out fully, oxygenated blood is able to reach out to every individual cell of body tissues & take away carbon dioxide. Cancer cells breed in an anaerobic (absence of oxygen) environment. Sun is the soul of positivity; negative elements can’t breathe under bright sun. Regular exercise releases happy hormones. A walk in the garden in the morning fresh air is way beneficial than a well equipped air conditioned gym.                                                                                                                                                             


6. Greens are always good. 

Green vegetables are loaded with disease fighting phyto-nutrients. These are high in fibre, vitamins & minerals & low in starch.One should have at least 400 gms of fruits & veggies i.e. 4 servings per day. There are numerous studies where raw  vegetable juice cures are registered, provided veggies are organic.

7. Move away from monotony-‘                                                         When the wheels of creativity gather momentum, brakes of stress fail’. 

Creative minds never gather toxic rust. Unwind the tight wires of daily grind whenever you can manage to spare some time.  It’s the mental rigidity which takes us away from our ability to adjust to circumstances. High degree of flexibility and sense of humour makes us less vulnerable to hostile situations.                   Monotony breeds morbidity!

8.Opt for organics

Genuinely organic grocery is a much sought after commodity. Advocates say organic food is safer, possibly more nutritious, and often better tasting than non-organic food. For meat and dairy, get antibiotic- and hormone-free products. Organic crops must be produced without conventional pesticides (including herbicides), synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, bio-engineering, or ionizing radiation.

9. Be a fibre freak & fitness freak too

Dietary fibre has a very important role to play to cleanse the intestines which is the reservoir of the residual waste. Use grains, pulses, fruits, vegetables, herbs & spices in such a way that you don´t lose out on fibre i.e. preferably don´t peel the fruits & veggies too hard, don´t sieve the flour, avoid refined flour( maida ), eat fruits instead of juices, eat popped whole grains & pulses ( with cover). Optimum fibre intake also ensures daily bowel movements.            


10. Ample load of Antioxidants

‘Download lots of antioxidants in your diet to upload pure health’. 

Eat things like green leafy vegetables, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, mint, tulsi, black pepper, fruits, berries, lemon, dark chocolates, nuts & seeds, sweet potato, green gram, green tea.  Have a ‘Rainbow’ Diet i.e. let your menu be filled in with fruits and vegetables of different colours which are storehouses of anti oxidants. Taking care this way definitely improves immunity which means you build resistance to negative elements in your environment.

One should make conscious effort to adopt modern lifestyle not at the cost of health.

Having said all and done all, don’t forget to laugh a lot, as it is the best medicine.

Don’t look for cancer prevention & cure elsewhere...just lift up your spirit, your mind, your energy, use all natural and be your own ‘Hero’!
