Cancer In Dogs Is On The Rise- Easy Tips To Decrease Cancer Risk In Your Dog

Home remedies for your dog sit right in the
produce section of your health food store!
Hippocrates said, " Let food be thy medicine."
Today, his words are being scientifically proven
to be absolute truth.

A healthy dog or cat will fight off diseases,
infections and cancer more doggedly that a
compromised one will. Providing wholesome and
healthful nutrition will prolong life and
improve health. Let's see why. Food is not just
only energy. In fact, good nutrition supplies
all the tools necessary to maintain health.
Each cell is like a miniature city bustling with
traffic. Cells are in the business of living and
they need specific tools to stay healthy and
rebuild themselves. They continuously recreate
and repair themselves. The tools they need to
do this are vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals,
anti-oxidants and super-foods. You need to use
certain tools in your home to keep it in good
shape and so does your cell. Nature provided
the perfect mix to sustain health. We just need
to be able to partake of all the ingredients for
good health.

When formulating multi-style supplements the
goal is to cover as many nutritional groups as
possible and find the freshest, most biological
active and available ingredients on the market.
It's unfortunate that so many pet vitamins use
poor quality ingredients such as biologically
unavailable powdered bone meal and neglect to
include the more expensive, but very important
ingredients for health.

PHYTOCHEMICALS

Breathtaking colors are reflected in the
vegetables we associate with this time of year.
Pumpkins, apples, carrots, beets, and the vibrant
green of kale paint a bright portrait. These very
colors are created by phytochemicals defined as
'a naturally occurring plant substance with some
having been shown in research to protect against
disease.'

DISEASE PREVENTION

Articles about the role of phytochemicals
preventing disease can be found in many
publications nowadays. For example, tomatoes
contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant of the
carotenoid group. The bright orange colors in
squash, pumpkins and carrots are due to the high
levels of beta-carotene these vegetables contain.

KALE = CANCER PREVENTION

Kale is full of carotenoids, which scavenge
free radicals and clean up 'dirt' in the cell.
Kale is also rich in elements that reduce the
risk of cancer and clear the cells of
carcinogenic substances much more quickly. A
recent study found that animals, when fed kale,
had tumors that were smaller and grew more
slowly.

DECREASING CANCER AND DISEASE RISK

This is what today's smart health is all about.
Cancer scientists and nutritionists agree that
increased intake of these super-foods decreases
cancer risk by 20% to 30%. Now that's
significant!

Colorful vegetables are bright and inviting.
And eating them should not feel one bit like
taking medicine. Their phytonutrients will work
to tone organs, prevent disease and increase
health. Adding high-quality vitamins and
minerals to the mix increases all the health
benefits.

Adding healthy vegetables to your dog's food is
not such a difficult task if you know how to do
it. Many books about cooking for dogs are
available to you telling you how to incorporate
healthier foods into your dog's diet. For
instance, lightly steaming veggies and mixing
them into scrambled eggs or an omelet creates a
healthy treat for your dog.
Natural remedies for dogs are in your home right
now!
