Mortality Check

For the second time in a few weeks we've learned about the death of someone whose face and presence we've come to appreciate. Tony Snow died of colon cancer.

Cancer is considered a lifestyle disease, meaning how we live, eat and move has a substantial impact on our predisposition toward the disease. That means that 66% of time cancer is correlated to our lifestyle, more than our genetics. Tony Snow was in the 33% of the population who have a genetic predisposition to cancer. He got screenings, he was active, he still got cancer.

There are no guarentees to eating healthy and exercising, but If it's proven that you hold the power to reduce it from probability to be meerly possibility of cancer, wouldn't you do it?

Then...
Eat Vegetables and fruits more.
Exercise at least a little most every day.
Know your risk factors and screen for everything you can.

Thanks for keeping us on-task Tony
