HOW YOUR DIET IMPACTS YOUR CANCER RISK IS THAT HOT DOG WORTH IT?
Around 40% of Americans develop some type of cancer in their lifetime. That’s a staggering number! You’ve likely known many people who have been treated for cancer, and it’s almost always a surprise when you learn of anyone else getting the diagnosis. Even as we learn about new carcinogens and take action to cut obvious risks, such as quitting smoking or cutting down on alcohol, cancer diagnoses remain steady. This has led many to wonder what they can do to further reduce their risk of developing cancer. As seen with many other aspects of health, what we eat directly affects how we feel. Recent research shows just how instrumental diet is in cancer prevention.
your risk. You want to look for foods with a high concentration of phytochemicals, a natural plant compound that helps prevent disease. It contains berries, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, grapes, grapefruit, leafy greens, pears, oranges, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes. And you can take it even further by pairing your fruits and vegetables with healthier protein options, such as fish, lean chicken, turkey, tofu, chickpeas, and eggs. If you worry about getting cancer and want to take action to reduce your risks, one of the best things you can do is plan your grocery shopping. Make a comprehensive list that includes healthy options while avoiding cancer-causing foods. As grocery prices soar, consider looking for the less expensive options, which is perfectly okay, as long as you make healthy choices. Compare labels and choose options with the fewest ingredients.

an annual membership, showing up becomes second nature. You know you’ll be seen at least once a month, whether in person or virtually, and that alone ensures constant progress instead of frustrating setbacks. I specifically had my snowbirds in mind when I created these structures. For a decade, so many of you came to see me from October through Easter. We’d fix your movement patterns, get you feeling great, get you stronger, get you pain-free — and then you’d head back north. And that’s when the trouble started. You’d work with someone who wasn’t nearly as obsessive about movement perfection as I am (few people are), and within a few months, your mechanics would slip, your pain would creep back, and by the time you returned in the fall, we were basically starting over.
you are geographically. This keeps us progressing instead of regressing. Your body should be stronger and more capable one year from now — not stuck in the same pattern, or worse, declining. That’s the entire point of the Berman Health Club.
If you’re already in your 80s?
I want you to kick 90’s ass.
If you’re in your 90s?
Keep kicking ass just to piss everybody off.
And here’s proof that age is never an excuse: Just last month, a 97-year-old golfer from Connecticut purchased one of my online golf programs. Yes, 97. He still plays tennis every week. He regularly shoots his age. And he contacted me because he “needs 15–20 more yards” to knock a couple strokes off. This man is breaking every rule society tries to impose on aging, and he’s not slowing down for anybody.
Let Me Leave You With This
If you don’t plan on dying in the next year … Why not choose to move better and feel better a year from now than you do today? There’s always room for improvement. No matter your age, no matter your limitations, no matter how “good” or “bad” you think you are. You. Can. Be. Better. Our mission at Berman Health Club is crystal clear: Help 1,000 seniors transform into Ultimate Boomers by 2030 so they can arrive at 80 feeling 60.
So, seriously …
What’s your excuse?
Not anymore.
Now everyone gets at least one check-in per month, no matter where
