"Death rates from cancer continue to decrease because of prevention, early detection and treatment," Jemal added. "These have been decreasing from the early '90s and, really, because of this decrease, over half a million deaths from cancer have been avoided."
Jemal is first author ofCancer Statistics 2008, which is published in the March/April issue ofCA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. The report has been an annual fixture since 1952.

everybody understands this simple word - prevention. but how many of you really maintain a healthy lifestyle?
but, in this urban city, how healthy can you be?

most people slogged their life for money. what is money when theres no health?

why is it that people in ancient times, people live to few hundred years? and now, the most 80years. i'm trying to say Earth is deteriorating and likewise for us who lives on it. and it'll continue to deteriorate. what if after another 5decade, human being can only live till 40years old. then you can imagine even faster pace life. and people would probably only sleep 4hours a day for more time.

a millionaire with a psle cert, took over his dad fail business, carrying the will of fulfill his dad wishes. he went all out. as a boss of a spa and wellness company - Aspara, he took charge of all big and small things. he then gradually put all his life in it. with all his hard work and never give up attitude, he succeeded and Aspara is well known worlwide - japan and america are one of the most wellknown. after slogging all his life, being so successful and reputable, he is now diagnosed with 3rd stage lung cancer and left with the last 1year. the cancer cells already started to spread at this point of time. and he wasn't even aware of it. there is no physical syntoms for cancer. how scary. and it is already the third stage. HE IS MY UNCLE.

My grandmother died of skin cancer and kidney failure but she was 88years old.

another uncle of mine died of cancer too but at the age off 40 odds?

one died of diabetes and kidney failure in 40odds as well.

come on, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney failure has already become as common as catching flu.

and i'm urging you all young people to take prevention NOW!

wait, now. alot of people don't know how.

no greasy and fried food. more veges, more fruits.

drink more milk to take in more calcium.

exercise 3 times a week.

sleep 8hours a day.

drink lots of water. try to drink tap water because too much of distilled water is bad for your body.

this is the basic. consistency is what that matters.

i know you'll be asking me things like "you sure you can do it?"
no, i can't do it.

there are always other ways to make it easier in this modern city if you don't mind spending $0.20 a day to maintain your health!

or you rather fall sick first the pay your huge medical bills with medisave or some people will tell me they have lots of cash. then perhaps you must be someone who love to take pills alot and love to visit hospital often.

i'm sure you know what i mean. but apparently people don't do anything about it. so what are you waiting for?

每当一到深夜，我就会睡不着。 我种会觉得很愤怒、很难过。 但是我无发把它说出来。 只能躲在被窝里哭泣。 有时候，我真的很想逃避和放弃一切。 但是我却不甘心。 不甘心就这样放弃一切。 所以不管多辛苦，我都会坚持到底。 我也只能靠自己！

子瑞，你要加油！ (((:
