It's the way to survive breast cancer

A woman is more likely to survive breast cancer if she walks a little every week, researchers have discovered. Even a few hours of walking improve a woman's chances of surviving cancer compared with those who did little or no exercise. Women who walked three to five hours a week had the lowest risk of death from breast cancer, and even women who walked more than an hour a week had a better survival rate than women who did no exercise at all. Of the 2,987 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer between 1984 and 1998, 92 per cent were still alive 10 years later if they walked for three or more hours a week, 89 per cent of those who walked for one to three hours a week were still alive, while 86 per cent those who walked less than an hour a week had survived 10 years' since initial diagnosis.

accupressure

The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the organs are on right and left foot, the heart is on the left foot.

This time, it put organs on the feet as they are. Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.

It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.

This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.

God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.

(For those of you who have been involved in reflexology before you may agree that this is one of the clearest picutres of exactly where each organ lies on the plan of the foot!)
