I think that this article didn't really give me the information I was looking for. Although it did give me some information about different kinds of cancer, such as prostate. But I think this is more of a specific article just to the prostate type of cancer. Also its a project that they did, and it just really didn't help me much.

Prostate Cancer Health Center

The national Cancer institute has halted its $114 million study of whether vitamin E and selenium can prevent prostate cancer. There were slightly more prostate cancers in men taking vitamin E alone, and slightly more diabetes in men taking only selenium. But neither finding was statistically significant, meaning they were likely due to chance. study participants were told to stop taking the two pills they'd been taking every day since the trial opened. The men can now ask to be told which treatment they recieved. and because the study was designed to look at more than just prostate cancer, participants will continue to recieve regular checkups.

I think that this is very interesting. Its really amazing how sleep or just your regular day routines can help, or not help in some cases to cancer. I think that its important to get enough sleep anyways. Knowing that sleep could cut cancer risk is something we should really take into consideration. Also by being active its helps you stay fit and in shape, and also lowers the risk of cancer. Overall this article was very interesting.

Cancer Health Center, Activity, Sleep May Cut Cancer Risk

Physical Activity may cut cancer risk, and sleeping at least seven hours per night may macimize that benefit. Amoung the most physically active women younger than 65--women who reported getting about an hour a day of moderate physical activity-- cancer was 47 percent rarer for those who got at least seven hours of nightly sleep. Those findings held regardless of other cancer risk factors. what that suggests to us is, among younger and middle-aged women, both physical activity and sleep habits might play an important role in reducing cancer risk. Overall cancer risk among younger women is relatively modest. Its not highly likely event by any means. Overall lifestyle, not just one or two habits, might be more important for reducing cancer risk.
