What Can One Do to Reduce the Chances of Getting Cancer - Follow Nature's Rules (13)

Follow the Old Chinese Philosophy, Zhong-Yong

Zhong-Yong is an old and respectable Chinese life philosophy; I think it is worthwhile to understand it in order to lower the risks of cancer.  “Zhong” means to be moderate and not to be extreme.  Whether dealing with people or issues, do it in a proper and correct way.  “Yong” means to be normal and to be just like ordinary people.  One does not have to be the strongest or richest.  However, one does not need to be the weakest or the poorest.  In my interpretation, the essence of Zhong-Yong in real life means to be moderate in treating your own body and to act as an ordinary person.

I believe the philosophy of Zhong-Yong can be applied to improve one’s health.  Whether it’s one’s eating or exercising habit, be moderate and do it within sensible limits.  As to one’s activity and behavior, be normal according to nature’s rules. 

I also believe Zhong-Yong is a very good principle of reducing the risk of cancer.  Think about how normal cells become cancer cells?  One important factor is that when normal cells are subject to abnormal/unnatural conditions, they are forced to be under a variety of stress and, as a result, there is a higher chance for the DNA to be damaged.  If the damages are not repaired by the body’s automatic repairing system, the DNA could be mutated and might result in cancer.  In short, even normal cells want to be under the appropriate condition (Zhong) and remain normal (Yong) per natural’s rules.  Why can’t we learn from the cells?
