If you don’t want to have regrets, live in a way that doesn’t create them. I saw a young mom this morning on the subway and she was giving her little girl a hard time. I almost said something, but I didn’t want to make things any tougher for this adorable little child. Had I said something, it would have been: “There will come a day when you want nothing more than the friendship and admiration of the person that you are now treating with such disregard and disrespect.” I knew I was watching not only an unhappy little girl today, but also the sowing of the mother’s future unhappiness.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Preventative living is being kind to the people you love right here, right now. It’s doing what you need to do and not what seems like fun, and saving some money regardless of the great shoe sale going on. It’s taking care of your body, even when that’s boring and sweaty and lacks whipped cream. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I had occasion to share this list with someone today. It falls under the rubric of “prevention” so I thought I’d share it with you. Now, obviously, I’m not saying that what you eat can prevent all cancer and sometimes things just happen and they just plain suck. However, the science is clear that some<\/i> cancer can indeed be prevented with the proper nutrients, so why not hedge your bets? This list comes from one of my favorite books on the subject, Eat to Beat Cancer<\/a>: A Research Scientist Explains How You and Your Family Can Avoid Up to 90% of All Cancers<\/i>, by R. Robert Hatherill, Ph.D.<\/div>\n
