Prevent Breast Cancer: Fresh Mushroom Plus Green Tea

Fresh Mushrooms

Devouring at least 10g of fresh mushrooms will decrease chances of developing breast cancer by 64% according to a study conducted by the University of Western Australia. The only problem I am facing is how to find fresh mushrooms.


Green Tea

Apart from mushrooms, green tea is also dubbed to provide health benefits in fighting against breast cancer. Now, I should start looking for green tea that tastes good, rather than having an insipid tea while working.

Cancer-Fighting Food: An Egg A Day Keeps Breast Cancer Away

Egg is a cancer-fighting food

Egg is not my favorite food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I do not consume egg on a daily basis. I, probably, have eggs on my dining plate once or twice a month. But after knowing the benefits of eating an egg a day, I may include it on my cancer-fighting everyday menu.

According to Reader’s Digest, a recent US National Institutes of Health study reveals that consuming one egg a day can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by 24%. This is because egg is high in choline, which is considered as a water-soluble essential nutrient and grouped within the B-complex vitamins.

Other sources of choline are meat and nuts.

Ovarian Cancer: Who Are At High Risk Of Ovarian Cancer?

Ovarian Cancer

When the cell growth and division goes awry, cancer begins to emerge. In this case, there are new cells being formed, which are not needed by the body. Old cells, on the other hand, do not extinguish from the body as they normally do. And that extra cells formed can create a mass of tissue which can now be called a growth or tumor.

A malignant tumor in the ovary or ovarian cancer can grow and invade other organs next to the ovaries. These organs can be the fallopian tubes and uterus.

Who are at risk of ovarian cancer?

Women with family history of ovarian cancer are said to be at high risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Women with family history of cancer of the breast, colon, rectum, uterus have an increased risk of ovarian cancer.

Women with personal history of cancer, such as cancer of the uterus, breast, colon, rectum are also considered at high risk of ovarian cancer.

Studies showed that women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer are females over 55 years old. Doctors also put older women who have never been pregnant at risk of ovarian cancer.

Women who take menopausal hormone therapy are also at high risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Urinalysis: TNTC Definition

A friend called last weekend requesting me to give him some clues about the “TNTC” written on his urinalysis report. Well, for those of you who are not aware of its definition, TNTC is an acronym for too numerous to count.

In urinalysis, we, laboratory technicians or better known as medical technologists, count the number of cellular elements, such as WBC, RBC, we find under a microscope. If the fields, however, are packed with cellular elements, we report it as TNTC or too numerous to count. We do this because it would be impractical to count their real numbers.
