Losing weight requires moving more and eating less. Check out some of the following ways to start losing weight for summer, and don’t be afraid to get creative!

Before and After Pictures

Seeing an unpleasant before picture is a great way to get motivated. Update the after picture every 3-4 weeks to watch the progress and stay on track. Evidence of change is what helps that change continue.

Wear Tight Pants

Individuals who squeeze into pants a size smaller are more likely to lose the weight to fit into those pants. The cinching and unpleasant tightness reminds them to move more and eat less.

Don’t Use the Back of the Chair

Sit on the edge. Sit up straight. Sitting up straight in a chair burns more calories that slouching. It also gives the appearance that the body is taller and more slender. By acting like a slender person, individuals will find themselves becoming a slender person.

Part-time Manual Labor Job

Get paid to move! Even if it’s only 2 hours a week, take a side-job that doubles as exercise. The benefits include consistency (people show up to jobs), calories burned (move the body and lose more weight), and money (treat the family to some healthy, and more expensive, fruits and vegetables).

Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases. Cancer occurs when cells become abnormal and keep dividing and forming more cells without control or order.

Like all the other organs of the body, the lungs are made up of many types of cells. Normally, cells divide to produce more cells only when the body needs them. This orderly process helps keep us healthy.

If cells divide when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This mass of excess tissue, called a growth or tumor, can be benign or malignant.

Benign tumors are not cancer. They can usually be removed and, in most cases, they do not come back. Most important, the cells in benign tumors do not invade other tissues and do not spread to other parts of the body. Benign tumors are rarely a threat to life.
Malignant tumors are cancer. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Also, cancer cells can break away from a malignant tumor and enter the bloodstream or the lymphatic system. This is how cancer spreads from the original tumor and forms new tumors in other parts of the body. The spread of cancer is called metastasis. Read more »

The particular part of the breast where a cancer originates categorizes that type of breast cancer
*Ductal Carcinoma: The beginnings of this type of cancer is in the cells which line the ducts of the breast, the ducts that supply milk to the nipple; just underneath the nipple and the areola. If the cancer is in situ, that is, it is contained and not invasive out it is called Ductal Carcinoma IN Situ (DCIS). Treatment of such a type of cancer is largely successful and can be typically removed by a lumpectomy. In case the margins of the tumor are devoid of cancer, radiation might be a form of follow-up treatment. If it has become invasive – spread into nearby tissue a mastectomy may be required coupled with chemotherapy.
*Lobular Carcinoma: This variety of breast cancer, as it is named, starts at the lobes (glands) that are located under the ducts far more deeper inside the breasts. These lobes produce milk. If the cancer has not spread and is contained, then it is called Lobular Carcinoma In Situ (LCIS). Read more »
