iTeam World : Is stress putting you at risk for Cancer?

Don’t let stress deprive you of a healthy, wealthy, and prosperous life.

Everyone faces some form of Stress in their lives, be it workplace stress, family stress, or relationship stress. The American Psychological Association breaks down stress into three different categories – acute stress, episodic acute stress, and chronic stress.

Acute stress is a short-term stress caused by the demands and pressures of the recent past or the near future. For example, a car accident that damaged your bumper, a deadline you’re rushing to meet, or a meeting with your mother-in-law.

Episodic acute stress happens when you suffer acute stress frequently. This usually applies to people with a ‘Type A’ personality who are excessively competitive, aggressive, impatient, short-tempered, and irritable.

Another form of episodic acute stress comes from endless worrying. These ‘worry warts’ are constantly anxious, tense, and pessimistic, and see disaster around every corner.

Chronic stress is a long-term stress that wears you down, day after day, month after month, year after year. Chronic stress can be caused by poverty, an unhappy marriage, hating your job, or any miserable situation where a person sees no way out. Chronic stress destroys bodies, minds, and lives, and can cause death through heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.

A study by Yale University researchers found that stress, even what people consider as ‘normal’ everyday stress, can act as a pathway between cancerous mutations, potentially triggering the growth of tumors.

And another study showed that norepinephrine – a hormone produced during times of stress – might increase the growth rate of cancer. Norepinephrine could also stimulate tumor cells to release a chemical that can increase the growth and spread of cancer.

The health benefits of Mushrooms

Different mushrooms possess different kinds of polysaccharides that work in synergy to promote immune cell activity and improve the immune system. By consuming many different types of mushrooms, you can reap the benefit of different polysaccharides to provide the body with optimal nourishment.

Cordyceps Mycelium has been used for centuries in Chinese herbal medicine to increase mental energy and clarity, improve libido, and increase physical power. Today, it is used to strengthen the immune system, reduce fatigue and stress, and support the kidneys, liver, and heart. Cordyceps Mycelium also has cancer-fighting nutrients and helps to prevent the spreading of cancer.

Scientists discovered that lentinan and LEM-polysaccharides found in Shiitake mushroom can help boost the body’s immunity. Shiitake mushroom can also enhance the function of the body’s natural killer cells to destroy cancerous cells and viruses.

A study conducted in Taiwan revealed that ABM Mushroom displays strong antioxidant activity that is effective in eliminating free radicals. Further research by the University of California, Los Angeles in the United States shows that ABM mushroom can increase immune cell counts in the body and strengthen the immune system.

ABM mushroom is able to stimulate the production of cancer-fighting lymphocyte T-cells, helper T-cells, interferon, and interleukins in the body. It also increases the activity rate of natural killer cells in our body to destroy cancer cells and viruses, quickly and efficiently.

According to research conducted by the New York Medical College in the United States, the polysaccharide D-fraction in Maitake mushroom is effective in regulating the immune system. Maitake mushroom contains potent anti-tumor polysaccharides which inhibit tumor growth and prevent normal cells from mutating to cancer-causing cells.

Cassia seeds help to promote a healthy liver, kidneys, intestines, and eyes, and are high in antioxidants that can prevent cancer.

Blueberries are also rich in antioxidants that help to reduce oxidative DNA damage and protect our bodies from damage by free radicals that contribute to aging and diseases such as cancer.

Live an anti-cancer lifestyle with E-Munity

E-Munity is a highly nutritious powdered beverage that combines the polysaccharides found in Cordyceps Mycelium, Shiitake mushroom, ABM mushroom, and Maitake mushroom with antioxidants in cassia seeds and blueberries to boost the body’s immune system and prevent cancer.

Consuming E-Munity regularly helps to prevent our cells from becoming cancerous due to exposure to radiation from electronic gadgets including mobile phones, computers, electrical appliances, as well as industrial machines.

E-Munity also helps to strengthen an immune system that has been weakened by stress in order to fight bacterial and virus infections, speed up healing, enhance energy levels, and nourish the brain cells.
