Warning: Working through the night doubles your breast cancer risk

You work to live, to feed your kids and do the things you love. But did you know it might be slowly killing you?

It's true!

Working in a stressful environment is the cause of many health ailments and illnesses like arthritis and heart disease. But the latest studies show it's not just the environment in which you work that's harming your health. It's the hours you work too!

Read on to find out how your working hours increase your risk of breast cancer…

 
The real key to healing cancer is to wipe out the stealth disease lurking behind it...
 
I admit I was downright shocked when I found out that cancer isn't actually what kills most cancer patients! And I've been a doctor for well over 20 years - so not much surprises me anymore.
 
Even more astounding - this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former US Air Force Dr Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!
 
That's right - the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn't cancer at all. No! It's a syndrome you've probably never even heard of - called cachexia (pronounced "ka-kek-see-ah").
 
And if you or someone you love is battling cancer... You definitely can't afford to ignore what could very well be the only natural compound that stops this stealth killer in its tracks.
   

Working at night messes with your sleep cycle and increases your cancer risk

 
A study on 78,562 nurses, recorded in the Oxford Medical Journals, found a link between breast cancer risk and when you work.
 
The women provided information relating to how many times during the week they worked at night. After ten years and 2,800 women who developed breast cancer, they concluded that the women who worked at night more than three times a week had an increased breast cancer risk.
 
A newer study showed more concrete results.
 
Canadian researchers took information from 1,134 breast cancer victims and compared them to 1,179 women without cancer. The women gave researchers information about their job type, the hours they worked and their sleeping patterns.
 
They divided the women who worked at night into three further categories and found only the women who worked rotational night shift for many years had an increase in their breast cancer risk. In fact, their risk was 50% higher than the other women!
 
So what is it about working at night that harms your health?
 

When your body’s exposed to light at night it messes with your hormones and increases your cancer risk

 
Your body has a very balanced circadian rhythm. It’s the process that tells you it’s time to go to sleep at night and it involves the hormone melatonin.
 
When the sun goes down, melatonin production increases. This message, sent by your skin, indicates the day’s over and you need to rest.
 
But when the sun goes down and you still expose yourself to bright lights and activities, melatonin production stays low. Then, when you go to sleep after your night shift and you try sleep during the day, it messes with your natural rhythm.
 
Your cells become confused. They try change with the change in your cycle. Research indicates this causes your body to make more oestrogen. And this could be the link between breast cancer and night shift.
 
So how do you protect yourself?
   
Imagine you could fill all your prescriptions at your local restaurant…
 
Imagine getting a prescription from your doctor and instead of heading to your local pharmacy, you drop by a special restaurant and get it filled by the chef who prepares a delicious meal made especially for you!
 
This mouth-watering meal is made of specially selected ingredients designed to have a potent, healing effect to wipe out the exact medical condition the doctor is treating you for.
 
The results aren't as immediate as with drugs, but they are incredibly powerful, and very long-lasting. Find out more here...
