caltam84 asked:


Despite healthy people eating the right and healthy foods with good exercise, how is it possible that these people who take good care of themselves get cancer?

But isn’t it suppose to be the other way around? In other words, I mean that people who don’t take care of their health and eat fatty, unhealthy foods get cancer. I doesn’t make sense when healthy people like healthy non-smoking, healthy people get lung cancer.

I know the causes of cancer is to eat unhealthy foods and not do many healthy activities.

But my question is……
What is the cause of lung cancer for people who are non-smokers and take good care of their health? The wife the actor Christopher Reeve(Dana Reeve) died from lung cancer even though she was a non-smoker and a very healthy person.

When you choose to answer my question, don’t answer with “that’s how life is” or “that’s the way it is” or “life is unfair”. Please give a specific and elaborate answer to my question.

Is nature responsible?

I’m a genetically light weight person, couldn’t gain weight if I tried. What benefits could I gain from regular exercise. Is the increase in lifespan through exercise solely due to the healthy weight, or does the exercise itself help. What other benefits are there.

I’m going to be graduating this coming spring when I am 22, and am completely clueless on what sort of employee benefits I should sign up for. I am unusually healthy, I have not even needed to go to the doctor since I was probably 8 or 9. So what type of coverage should I be paying for? I don’t want to be paying a lot when I don’t even use any of it.

How to stay healthy when family members are sick?

Kiara asked:


Two of my family members (my younger brother and my dad) are sick with high temps and uncomfortable stomahcs. My mom and my other brother are not sick and neither am I. I am going somewhere for the weekend, and I really don’t want to get sick and have to miss it. I’ve been looking forward to it for quite a while.

What are some ways I can help to prevent getting sick? I know the obvious- washing hands constantly and using Clorox or other disinfecting wipes on light switches and door handles… But what are other ways to help me stay healthy? I know there’s no 100% effective way, but any tips you have I would be VERY grateful for!! Thanks for any help you can give!
