Movember

As a male triathlete, you spend a lot of time in the saddle.  In essence, siting on your prostate.  So with that in mind I wanted to share a few facts:

PROSTATE CANCERIn the US, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime making it the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men after skin cancer. In 2013, over 238,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed and almost 30,000 men will die of prostate cancer in the US alone. Despite these figures, the level of awareness, understanding and support for prostate cancer lags significantly behind that of women’s health causes. 

• A man is 35% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer.
• One new case of prostate cancer occurs every 2.2 minutes and a man dies from the disease every 17.5 minutes.
• The incidence rates are double for African American men.
• If detected and treated early, prostate cancer has a 97 percent success rate.

 

Female Age Groupers

Not to leave any of my audience out, I wanted to share a bit about a special project I have been working on for the last year.

• 80% of breast cancer occurs in women with no family history
• The link between elevated estrogen levels and breast cancer is well known
• Learn more about how a saliva simple test can help you learn if you’re at risk and how to change your risk

Short video about the project:

UCAN

1. UCAN is a unique carbohydrate that releases steadily into the body, the way your muscles and brain need it (instead of overwhelming you with unnecessary calories). The primary ingredient, SuperStarch, is derived from naturally cooked non-GMO corn that is very different from waxy maize products.

2. UCAN is a carbohydrate that finally allows the body to burn fat by putting you in the metabolic state to release (instead of store) body fat.

3. UCAN controls blood sugar and insulin and is a powerful tool to help optimize workouts, work-life, and achieve weight loss results.
