(This is Part 2 of Mini-Series.)
February is a month for love. Paradoxically, the importance of love in our lives should be a constant reminder for each of us instead of daily or monthly events. Love should not have a time line or calendar check, simply because love is timeless. Do you agree?
As the end of February is approaching, I’d like to share one of my favorite excerpts from my book—Key Strategies for Cancer Prevention. It’s a part of Epilogue to emphasize the healing capacity of love, both physically and emotionally:
“Let love penetrate each of your precious little cells. Loving your body begins by nurturing your treasured cells—the fundamental building blocks of your body. With 37.2 trillion cells in the human body, you love each of them by maximizing nutrients’ intake and minimizing damage and inflammation. Subsequently, you boost cellular energy and send grateful signals to each cell. And you let love go in or welcome love by exercising your body in an appropriate way for your condition and age. As a result, you take care of your health.
Let love penetrate your immune system too. That’s your first line of defense to ward off cancer. The good news is that you can harness the power of your immune system as an effective immunotherapy to cure cancer. Former president Jimmy Carter is one patient who has benefited from such a cancer immunotherapy.
Let love penetrate your whole body by staying emotionally healthy as well as physically fit. Your emotional health is sustained by engaging in physical movement, mental harmony, social connection, and spiritual joy. It helps you work through life’s small ups and downs, as well as bigger challenges or trials. By letting love rule your body, you keep peace, develop beliefs and accumulate values that drive positive healthy behaviors.
Let love diffuse into life and the world. Love is communicated in different ways and is easily integrated into a healthy lifestyle. Generally speaking, love can be exhibited in romance and kind acts, in understanding and offering needed support, and in self-care. Love can mean openly talking about cancer as related to one’s fears and anxieties too. Find ways to spread love around you. The world needs a lot of love.”
In life, we might have difficulty to find the right words to describe love or true love, note that I don’t mean those popular adjectives (beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, deep or obsessed, etc.). However, we can fill in a blank or challenging gap with love. Let’s never forget but always remember LOVE.
“Where there is love there is life.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
