Cancer Cases Expected to Rise 77% by 2050
The global cancer burden continues to grow with over 35 million new cases predicted for the year 2050, according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO). When compared to the approximately 20 million new cancer cases that occurred in 2022, this represents a 77% increase.
Lung, breast, and colorectal cancer are currently the three most prevalent cancers, although prostate cancer replaces breast cancer in the top three for men. Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate, while breast cancer comes in fourth on the list.
The report estimates that more highly developed countries will experience some of the highest cancer incidence rates, and less developed countries will suffer higher death rates. Alongside population growth and an aging population in many countries, possible factors involved in increasing cancer rates include alcohol use, tobacco use, obesity, and air pollution.
Better screening, awareness, and healthcare options could help cut down on cancer rates in certain countries, especially less developed ones. At the individual level, lifestyle changes like eating a healthy diet, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol intake can lower overall cancer risk.
Scent Therapy May Improve Memory Recall, Depression Symptoms
Familiar scents may help the brain to recall specific memories, a new study has found. In those with depression, this benefit of scent therapy may help individuals to get out of negative thought cycles and into more positive patterns of thinking, potentially improving depression symptoms.
Previous research has indicated that adults with depression struggle to recall precise memories. Scent therapy (also known as aromatherapy) has already shown the potential to trigger vivid memories, possibly because smells engage the amygdala, a region of the brain involved in emotion and memory.
The latest study involved 32 adults with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. They were given either word cues or odor cues and asked to recall a specific memory. Memory recall was much stronger in response to odor cues versus word cues, and participants were also more likely to remember positive events.
Though the study specifically focused on scent therapy and memory recall in people with depression, the benefits may extend to general mood and thought improvements. In addition, many of the odors used in the study were everyday ones, including oranges and ground coffee.

Beta Glucan: The Immune System "Cheat Code"
In 1990, an immunologist from the University of South Carolina heard about an ingredient Japanese scientists were researching at $1,410 per dose. So, he took a trip overseas to see what it was all about.
Turns out he discovered an immune system ‘cheat code.’ He came back to the United States and figured out how to make it…
But for a whole lot cheaper (around $0.60 per capsule!) & it revolutionized the supplement world forever.
The University of Louisville tested it, and found out it was 160x more effective than Vitamin C.
In fact, The American Nutraceutical Association hailed it as "The Most Effective Dietary Supplement for a Healthy Immune System."
There are over 200,000 published studies about this feel good ‘cheat code,’ making it the most researched immune modulator on the planet.
It’s called Beta Glucan, and this blend of Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Selium is a simple solution to support a strong immune system long-term.

11 Common Lupus Symptoms You Should Know About
Lupus is a serious autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of the body. Some of its most common symptoms are similar to those of other chronic diseases and include extreme fatigue, joint pain or swelling, headaches, and swelling in the hands or feet. Lupus can also cause low fevers, light sensitivity, and chest pain when breathing deeply as well as skin symptoms like a butterfly-shaped rash on the face, hair loss, and sores in the mouth or nose.

Refrigerate Lettuce (or Choose Kale) to Avoid E. coli Contamination
Leafy greens are incredibly nutritious, but the store-bought version is unfortunately susceptible to contamination, including from E. coli. According to a recent study, refrigerating lettuce at or below 39° F is key to inhibiting the growth of E. coli, lessening the risk of food poisoning. Another option is to buy kale instead, which is less susceptible overall to E. coli contamination. Cooking your greens can help as well by killing or inactivating pathogenic bacteria. (More)
Exercise Key for Better Sleep Quality, Quantity
Getting quality sleep is a problem for many people. While developing a solid bedtime routine can be a good strategy for falling asleep more quickly, some new research has found that what you do with the rest of your day also matters, particularly when it comes to exercise. Overall, those who got more moderate to vigorous physical activity during the day had less troubled sleep, reduced tiredness, and better sleep quality. (More)
Salt Substitutes Could Lower Hypertension Risk by 40%
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a problem for millions of people and raises the risk of a number of diseases. High sodium intake is one possible factor involved in elevated blood pressure levels, which may be why a recent study found that salt substitutes could reduce the risk of developing hypertension by up to 40%. Salt substitutes often contain a reduced amount of sodium combined with potassium and food flavorings like herbs or mushrooms. If you want to try one, just be sure to check the label for any synthetic additives. (More)
16 Top Foods for Healthy, Glowing Skin
Your skin needs a number of key nutrients to thrive, and many of these are supplied largely through the foods you eat. Avocados are a top choice for healthy skin given their high content of vitamin E and healthy fats. Bell peppers, leafy greens, broccoli, and tomatoes all supply collagen-boosting vitamin C and antioxidants, while nuts, chia seeds, and fish are rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3s. Green tea and dark chocolate are packed with antioxidants that have specifically shown benefits for youthful-looking skin. (More)

Your heart beats approximately 100,000 times per day and pumps nearly 1.5 gallons of blood every minute. Across an average human lifespan, a person's heart would beat over 2.6 billion times and pump enough blood to fill almost 100 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The Simple Thing You Can Do Every Day to Support a STRONG Immune System
You’re only as young as your immune system, but the reality is that with age, often comes weakened immunity and slower recovery.
Suddenly, a cold or flu that you could once shake off in a day or two can become a lingering and debilitating illness for days and days on end.
Thankfully, there’s one simple thing you can incorporate into your daily routine now to support a healthy immune system.
It has to do with a little-known “Immunity Nutrient” called Beta Glucan that has been proven to be 160X more effective than vitamin C!
This potent combination features immunity-supporting nutrients like Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Selenium.
However, the effectiveness of the ingredients in a supplement is only half of what makes it worthwhile (or not).
What's not in a supplement is the other half of the equation.
With Better Way’s Beta Glucan 100, touted by some as "The Purest Beta Glucan in the World", every batch undergoes extensive third-party testing for guaranteed purity.
Furthermore, their beta glucan is vegan, non-GMO, and starch- and gluten-free (and the capsules are easy to swallow!)
