The most common type of bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma. “This arises in a specialized cell layer on the inner surface of the urinary tract,” explains Ramkishen Narayanan, M.D., a urologist.

“The urothelium has the unique property of having multiple cell layers that can transition from stretched to contracted as the bladder fills and empties, which is why bladder cancer is also known as transitional cell carcinoma.”

The number-one sign that should prompt a call to your doctor is called “gross painless hematuria,” or blood in the urine that is not associated with pain. “This may involve a brief episode of bloody urine that stops and then returns several days or weeks later. Inflammatory and infectious conditions such as a kidney stone or urinary tract infection typically involve pain or burning with urination.. Bladder tumors, on the other hand, typically do not cause pain at first.

Constant need to p*e or urinating more often in the absence of a urinary tract infection also merits further investigation, especially if you have a family history or a history of smoking. Anything that feels out of the ordinary is worth making an appointment.

When the initial cancer is caught before spreading, the survival rate for bladder cancer is 98%.

Though heart disease remains the number one killer of young and old, it is rather interesting to note that it is EXTREMELY rare to find cancerous tumors in the heart!

What differentiates the heart form other organs that heart cells (cardiac myocytes) do not regrow/divide. They simply expand. So if you want to have good heart health, moderate your consumption of sweets, red meat and dairy fat.

Cardiac tumors that originate in the heart itself are extremely rare. The highly specialized and most abundant cell in the heart may explain why the organ is such an inhospitable host to cancer.

Colon cancer is hard to detect early or prevent, except with a colonoscopy and eating/drinking enough of the right foods.

Keeping your colon healthy is less about a one-time "cleanse" and more about consistently providing your digestive system with the fuel it needs to sweep out waste naturally. The body is quite efficient at detoxifying itself when given the right tools.

Focusing on high-fiber foods and proper hydration is the most effective way to support this process.

High-Fiber: Fiber adds bulk to stool and acts like a natural broom for the intestinal walls.Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas, and black beans are among the best sources of fiber. They help keep things moving predictably.

Whole Grains: Swap refined grains for oats, quinoa, brown rice, or buckwheat. These contain insoluble fiber, which sp*eds up the passage of food.

Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts contain sulforaphane, which may help protect the lining of the colon.

Berries: Raspberries and blackberries are fiber-dense and packed with antioxidants that reduce inflammation in the gut.

Chia and Flaxseeds: These seeds form a gel-like substance when wet, which helps lubricate the digestive tract.

Probiotic & Prebiotic Foods: A healthy colon relies on a balanced microbiome to break down waste effectively.Fermented Foods: Yogurt with live cultures, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi introduce beneficial bacteria (probiotics) to your system.

Prebiotics: Foods like garlic, onions, leeks, and slightly underripe bananas provide the specific starch that your good gut bacteria need to thrive.

Hydration & Cleansing Beverages: Without enough liquid, fiber can actually cause more "traffic jams" in the colon. Lots of water throughout the day is essential for softening stool. Herbal teas soothe the muscles of the colon, while ginger tea can stimulate digestion and reduce bloating.

Green Juices: Juices made primarily from leafy greens (like kale or spinach) and cucumber provide hydration along with a concentrated dose of chlorophyll.

What's the best vegetable to eat?

Only one perfect powerhouse scores 100, and the honor goes to the unassuming microgreen watercress. Spinach, beet greens, chard and kale trail behind with scores in the 80s or below.

What makes watercress so healthy?

The freshwater green is high in potassium, calcium and more vitamin C than oranges. For bone health, it is rich in vitamin A and 100% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin K. In addition to vitamins and minerals, watercress is also high in antioxidants, the compounds help prevent cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
