RAISING CANCER AWARENESS:

Let me start by raising a simple query. What is a blessing? When we take this particular word in our view or hear it, what crosses our mind? Answering my own question. I have this perspective that whatever ease that comes into our lives as a holy grail, as a savior, a rescuer, is indeed a blessing. The life we are living right now is a blessing. Life was not a smooth sail in the past, it was uncertain and most importantly a struggle. We have now come a long way from the times when a person would, unfortunately. start battling for life after being diagnosed with a disease. when there not just the cure of these fearsome diseases such as cancer, HIV, hepatitis but even the diagnosis was a struggle. In the 21^st century. we blessed with improved health care systems and improved machinery with whatever ups and downs we face regarding our health.

Today, I’ll talk about a fatal disease, Cancer. This six-letter word can make your whole existence upside down. one of those diseases that spread faster than anything else in the entire world. It is a very invasive and destructive enemy of our body. The body cells start to grow and divide uncontrollably and then they migrate to different sites of the body which can even result in death if not cured on time.

According to IARC, in the last 25 years. The number of cancer patients has significantly increased in Pakistan and has taken the lives of 100,000 people in 2015. The most common type of cancer found in our country is lungs and breast cancer. The passing on of the defected genes does play a part in cancer occurrence. But most of the delayed cases are due to our own mistakes. The lack of education about the disease, the diet we take, the use of tobacco, exposure of radiations, etc. A few factors contributing to the disease.

The good news is that, we being part of the 21^st century have cures and as well as diagnoses of almost all types of cancer. Although the treatment itself is devastating and requires a big heart and will power to go through that tough time but thinking about the better and healthy future can ease the pain. But our first and foremost target is to prevent the disease and speak up about it. We need to understand how precious our lives are and how common this disease is and the risks involved. Lions are encouraging all the cancer patients by helping them fight it and are also raising awareness about it. Be brave enough to speak up.

Before talking about liver detoxification. it is essential that we develop a basic understanding of the liver and its functions.

The largest organ that there in the human body is the Liver. A liver is a gland that a wide array of very critical bodily functions. such as the miniaturization of proteins, and metabolism of carbs and fats. while also eliminating harmful and toxic waste like drugs and alcohol. It also aids in digestion, by secreting bile.

Liver Detoxification:

Liver Detoxification may also refer to as ‘Liver Cleanse’.

There are many reasons one might want to cleanse their liver. As the liver is the detoxifier of the human body. Some believe that their liver holds onto some of the toxins. That it helps remove from the body, and therefore, needs to cleanse.

While some of the opinions that they can boost the functions of the liver by doing a liver cleanse. Which would ultimately lead to a faster body cleanse.

However, it only a myth that the liver can hold onto the toxins.

A liver detox would involve taking supplements. Avoiding processed or certain foods, going on a juice-based diet, etc.

There is little to no evidence that liver detoxification works, or that doing a cleanse. Can restore an already damaged or unhealthy liver.

However, some natural foods might help in keeping and maintaining a healthy liver. But it shouldn’t confuse with detoxification and not a treatment for an unhealthy and damaged liver.

-Natural foods:

• Coffee: Coffee protects against the issue of fatty liver disease. and also protects the liver against chronic diseases. because coffee influences liver enzymes in a positive way.
• Garlic: Garlic not only positively influences the enzymes of the liver. but it also helps in overall weight and fat reduction. which ultimately keeps the liver healthy as well.
• Berries: Many different types of berries contain antioxidants, that keep the liver healthy.
• Plant Food: Plant food includes the likes of avocado, broccoli, brown rice, kale, carrots, etc. This type of food keeps the body healthy, which keeps the liver healthy as well.
• Watermelon: Watermelon contains antioxidants, and consuming them keeps the body and liver healthy.
• Walnuts: Walnuts positively affect the blood circulation in your body. And, therefore, the toxins reach the liver in a better way, which are then flushed out by it.

In conclusion, the liver cannot be fixed or healed by detoxification or a cleanse. but there are ways in which it can keep healthy. If one has a clean and balanced diet, and a healthy body, the liver would healthy as well.
